In your press release dated 23 October 2014 it is stated that London Datastore 2 "is aimed predominately at private sector businesses, professional city data organisations, academics, the London Boroughs and public services and is designed to act as a 'market place' for ideas and collaborative efforts". While the Datastore can provide valuable information for businesses, do you accept that its primary objective should be to honour its initial aim to "boost transparency and accountability in the capital" as set out in your press release dated 7 January 2010?
