[Harish Singh]

As reported by BBC News
Tom Watson MP, minister for digital engagement, said open source
software would be on a level playing field with proprietary software
such as Windows.

Open source software will be adopted "when it delivers best value for
money", the government said.

It added that public services should where possible avoid being
"locked into proprietary software".
