The modern world generates a staggering quantity of data – and the business of government is no exception. The term 'big data' has come to refer to the very large datasets involved, and 'big data analytics' to refer to the process of seeking insights by combining and examining them. This report is about a strategy for big data in the public sector. We provide an overview and examples to inspire policymakers around the opportunity for data and analytics to transform public service delivery.

Our recommendations show how government might begin to capture the opportunities of big data whilst meeting the challenges the public sector will face along the way.

Fears of invasion of privacy have so far proved unfounded. PAYT schemes have been operating in the US and continental Europe for some time. What should be done?
