So the question in my mind is: is the UK Government attempting to cover-up its previous advocacy of ADP, by censoring this old document?

In a word, yes.

I'd be fascinated to know who in the hive mind decided to do it though; I can't see someone too senior coming up with an http redirect as the answer. I guess the scrub order came down the chain and an automaton jumped into action.



Interestingly, the well respected head of the Home Office announced departure around the same time as this story breaking.

There are always lots of juicy things going on in the big government departments, so connections could be made at almost any time. But the timing and quick departure does seems notable.

Perhaps they know that ADP security is broken. That would justify both changing the recommendation and asking to read it.


ADP is no longer available in the UK. To keep the document up to date references to the thing that doesnt exist anymore were removed.
