[open-government] Poor data quality hindering government open data programme

[Rufus Pollock]

I note there is a dashboard indicating the state of Government spend data
publishing here:

http://data.gov.uk/data/openspending-report/index

As that shows performance has been mixed (but the dashboard is used
regularly by the Minister to push departments to do better).

Regards,

Rufus

(Disclosure: we at Open Knowledge built the original dashboard as part of
our work on http://OpenSpending.org/ get UK spending data in one place).
