<p>From today all government bodies must comply with <a href="http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/openstandards" title="Open Standards">Open Standards Principles</a>,
 an agreed set of standards to make our IT more open, cheaper and better
 connected, Minister for Cabinet Office, Francis Maude said today.</p><p>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.</p><a href="http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/news/government-bodies-must-comply-open-standards-principles">Please read more here</a><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><b>----------------------------------------------------<br>
