‘The prize for top class analysis of linked administrative data is huge. But it is critical that such data are held safely and used ethically. This can be hugely enhanced by the use of privacy enhancing methods. This Dictionary, compiled by some of the leading figures in the field, is an important source for identifying the best strategy. I am delighted to endorse it.’
