UK Conservative Party publishes manifesto that sets out a number of PSI related promises
London: 13 April 2010
The political parties in the UK have started to publish their manifestos for the UK elections that will take place on the 6th May 2010.
The Conservative Party has published their manifesto titled: Invitation to Join the Government of Britain.
The manifesto states on page 69:
“Publish data so the public can hold government to account
Drawing inspiration from administrations around the world which have shown that being transparent can transform the effectiveness of government, we will create a powerful new right to government data, enabling the public to request – and receive – government datasets in an open and standardised format. Independent estimates suggest this could provide a £6 billion boost to the UK economy. We will open up Whitehall recruitment by publishing central government job vacancies online, saving costs and increasing transparency.”
