The data is in two parts (1) a key file (‘key’), which contains the variable name, the exact question posed, and the coding; and (2) a data file (‘coded’) which contains the responses. 

This data comes from a survey of 200 UK civil servants conducted between 30 January 2013 and 18 February 2013 via the Internet. In regard to respondents, the survey exclusively targeted civil servants at Grade 7 and above. Permission to conduct the survey was granted by the office of the head of the civil service, which then disseminated the survey to permanent secretaries (very senior civil servants responsible for managing entire divisions), without any formal endorsement. At the insistence of the office of the head of the civil service, individual permanent secretaries were responsible for deciding whether to send the survey to civil servants within their section. As we had no contact with individual permanent secretaries, we are unable to know which permanent secretaries sent out the survey. The sample is therefore closer to an opportunity sample, and thus a response rate cannot be calculated.
