GOV.UK - UK Government Departments, Agencies & Public Bodies (GB-GOVUK)
This record is deprecated and should only be used for interpreting older datasets.
Description
This list is deprecated in favour of GB-GOR, the Government Organisation Registry which assigns a unique code to each agency with a page at www.gov.uk.
To construct a legacy GB-GOVUK identifier, use the final segment of the url of a body at http://www.gov.uk (below /organisations) as the "registration number", converting all "-" to "_". Keep "registration number" portion all lowercase.
It should be possible to map form GB-GOVUK to GB-GOR identifiers.
