The UK Government have now extended their: Open Source, Open Standards and Re-Use:  Government Action Plan

into a fuller ICT strategy:

Aside from the very clear support for Open Source Software and Open Standards, another interesting idea here is the concept of a G-Cloud.  A Cloud repository for the UK Public Sector which will compete wit Google and Amazon - and retain UK control over sensitive public information.

I think this is a good idea.
