The government鈥檚 initial response to the recommendations from , the report of the Administrative Data Taskforce (ADT).

The government broadly supports the recommendations and will work with the research community to support the use and reuse of de-identified administrative data for research and policy purposes. This government response emphasises the importance of:

• building on existing activities, infrastructure and systems where feasible to develop a new UK-wide approach
• developing the infrastructure to maximise the potential benefits to government analysts, the wider research community and citizens
• ensuring that the full breadth of data sources, with analytical value and held in administrative systems, are accessible for research

This document is a first response following the government鈥檚 initial consideration of the proposals. We are developing more detailed plans with the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), the Devolved Administrations and others.
