"In a move sure to have transparency activists salivating, the UK
government has some 195,000 lines of data detailing its financial
outgoings. The BBC reports that 'All spending of more than £25,000
made between May and September was published — in line with a
pre-election commitment by the Conservatives — although some
departments also published spending over £500. People are being
encouraged to pick through the enormous quantity of online information
to spot waste and hold ministers to account.'"
