Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what restrictions there are on who is allowed to access LMI for All data; and what assessment his Department or the UK Commission for Employment and Skills has made of how that data is being used by third parties.

There are no restrictions to accessing LMI for All.The data in LMI for All is made available via an Application Programming Interface (API) for use in websites and applications. Neither the Department nor the UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES) evaluates or assesses the impact of third party applications and websites although UKCES tracks the use of the LMI for All service by such websites and applications. A report containing detailed case studies focusing on specific applications is currently under preparation and will be published this year.
