A study by the Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations has found that applications by charities for emergency help were highest in the north-east, because the 20 poorest areas suffered 40 times as much reduction in their funding as the 20 richest. A year ago the Minister of State, Cabinet Office, the right hon. Member for West Dorset (Mr Letwin), said that the voluntary sector would"““find that there is access to a large amount of revenue””.—[Official Report, 20 October 2010; Vol. 516, c. 936.]"
Has he disappeared because he no longer believes that?

I deeply regret that it has been necessary for the Government to cut spending in the way that they have. The reason is very simple—the Government of which the hon. Lady was a member left this country with the biggest budget deficit in the developed world.

We are strongly in favour of using open source software wherever possible. We have established that that can cut the cost of providing digital services massively, while producing better results. On a recent visit to silicon valley, I and a number of colleagues found businesses that were capable of cutting those costs on a massive scale.

We have always made clear that, where appropriate, Government will procure open source solutions.Open source products are used in the delivery, of huge database programmes—such as the Indian Identity card scheme—at a greater scale and for much less cost than we have experienced in the past.Gov.uk, the new platform for publishing in UK Government employs the same open source technologies.It's being delivered for a fraction of the cost of previous Government web schemes.

[holding answer 27 February 2012]: The Department has held, and continues to hold, discussions with industry partners about how best to deliver, and maintain, the validation service for software developed by, and to understand the impact of any changes on, commercial practices for assessing the energy performance of non-domestic buildings. The changes to the Software Validation Service involved no regulatory changes that would, in the normal course of events, require a formal consultation process or impact assessment to be undertaken.Since the introduction on 25 January, we have said that neither DCLG nor the operator of the Energy Performance Certificate Register will introduce any changes for the purposes of complying with Part L of the Building Regulations or for generating Energy Performance Certificates and Display Energy Certificates that would trigger the need for software for non-domestic buildings to undergo validation in 2012. The only exception to this is air conditioning software, which will need to undergo validation prior to the statutory requirement to lodge air conditioning reports onto the non-domestic Energy Performance Certificate Register coming into force in April. Air conditioning software providers were advised in October that central funding was no longer available for third party software validation, and that alternative arrangements would be introduced.

The export from the UK of software specially designed or modified for military use and of dual-use software as specified in Annexe I of Council Regulation (EC) 428/2009 by electronic means is subject to an export control requirement as specified in the relevant legislation and control lists. Country-specific sanctions regimes may include further controls on exports to those countries. The controls apply equally to software upgrades as to the original supply of software or equipment.
In general, export controls are based on the country of destination of the items to be exported with a thorough risk assessment of all relevant information undertaken at the licensing stage. An export licence authorises specific items to be exported to one or more specified destinations, depending on the type of licence. If a controlled item is exported to a destination not authorised by an individual licence issued to that exporter, or by a general licence available for use by any exporter, then that would be an offence.
Export control law does not refer explicitly to IP addresses in particular countries. The destination country of an export is determined on the facts of the case, which may include the IP address in the case of an export transacted by electronic means.

The Cabinet Office recognises that in certain circumstances open source solutions present opportunities for improved value for money and can stimulate a more competitive IT marketplace.Its position is to introduce a level playing field where both open source and proprietary software will be evaluated and the solution that offers best value for money, when the total cost of ownership has been calculated, will be selected. To assist Departments and bodies when evaluating open source solutions, the Cabinet Office has published an Open Source Procurement Toolkit, which is available at:"https://update.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/resource-library/open-source-procurement-toolkit"As part of the Strategic Implementation Plan that followed the Government IT strategy, the Cabinet Office is collecting and will publish publishing metrics, including the total number of open source software solutions deployed by central Government Departments. These will be published in the ICT Strategy Progress update in March 2012.

Based on 2010 employers' end of year returns, approximately 1 million small employers, or their agents, are using commercial payroll software. A further half a million small employers' returns were submitted using HMRC's free PAYE products.The majority of small employers will begin submitting real time information in April 2013. HMRC has been liaising with all payroll software developers registered with HMRC's Software Developers' Support Team since autumn 2010 to ensure that they develop their payroll software products in time for this.Employers with nine employees or fewer will be able to download HMRC's free 'Basic PAYE Tools' to calculate PAYE deductions and send real time information.

HMRC has been liaising with all payroll software developers registered with HMRC's Software Developers' Support Team since autumn 2010. HMRC has held a number of workshops for payroll software developers to discuss Real Time Information (RTI). These were attended by around 160 developers representing almost 120 software houses. In addition, HMRC officials have held regular meetings with the payroll software industry representative organisations.A list of respondents to the latest consultation on RTI can be found in the Summary of Responses document published on 30 September 2011 on the HMRC website.
