2.18 The www.data.gov.uk website was originally run by the Central Office of Information and received funding of £1.2 million in 2010-11 from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. In 2011-12, the project was brought within the Cabinet Office, and further engagement activity with stakeholders increased the annual running costs to £2 million. The Cabinet Office hopes that improvements to the website (see paragraph 2.6) will increase efficiency and lower costs.
