1. Introduction

This document sets out our policy on sharing and use of the data we hold. The policy helps us achieve a rational and consistent approach towards the management of data availability and use. It is intended to help our data providers and users better understand our aims and intentions. We want those that provide us with data to understand how it will be used and made available to others. We want those that use the data we hold to understand the rationale behind any constraints we place on the availability of data.
