Brian White: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what percentage of the Department's (a) implemented and (b) planned
computer systems use open source software; and what plans are in place to raise this level. [195667]
Phil Hope: The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister does not have statistics on the use of open source software, but to date it is
very limited. We follow established Government policy, which is to consider open source software options alongside proprietary ones
in IT procurements on a level playing field basis, and award contracts on a value for money, case-by-case basis. The policy can be
viewed at www.govtalk.gov.uk.
