IOD: Slash UK.gov IT, save public cash

A report by the Institute of Directors and the TaxPayers' Alliance says that cutting government IT projects could slash millions from public spending.

Proposals include abolishing Building Schools for the Future, ContactPoint, the NHS National Programme for IT and ID cards. Becta, the technology organisation for the education sector, could be scrapped and spending on consultants halved, the report claims.
