>From today all government bodies must comply with Open Standards
Principles<http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/openstandards>,
an agreed set of standards to make our IT more open, cheaper and better
connected, Minister for Cabinet Office, Francis Maude said today.

The Open Standards Principles have been developed following the public
consultation ‘Open Standards: Open Opportunities – flexibility and
efficiency in Government IT’ which took place from February to June this
year. The principles will help Government to deliver more innovative IT
services and further drive savings and encourage more competition for
government contracts.
