Treasury data

Put that the data released by the Treasury today was unreadable, the PMS said that the Treasury had always been very clear that this data was complicated and there was a lot of it, but this was a big step forward in transparency and openness. Rather than reconstructing the data, the Treasury was taking the raw data and publishing it for all to see.

Put that the data was pointless if nobody could understand it, the PMS said that the point of transparency was to publish the data you held. There were other publications on public spending data that brought a lot of this data together and aggregated it, but this was the detailed data.

Asked what the most interesting disclosures were, the PMS replied that there were many to choose from, but advised people to speak to the Treasury for more detail.
