As I understand it from our media relations team it's to do with the fact that the THES was sold off from News Corp last year and traditionally they share the data with The Times. As the 2 papers now have different owners they are arguing about who owns the data.
Best wishes,

Hi,
On the recommendation of Frances Lloyd from Swansea I emailed Ian Morton at Universities UK who phoned me to tell me that the Times will not be publishing the League Tables during June. There appears to be some legal dispute going on (he's not aware of the details). It is even conceivable that they will not be published at all this year, when you take the timings into consideration. July would be ok, but a little late, August pointless, who's around to comment?, September at it'll clash with the Sunday Times and after then, probably too late to be of use. Mystery solved.
