Policy context
“The NII will contain the data held by government
which is likely to have the broadest and most
significant economic and social impact if made
available and accessible outside of government,
where possible”
“The Cabinet Office will work with the Local
Government Association and the Local Public Data
Panel to determine how to best consider local
authority datasets in future iterations of the NII
by April 2014”
