A quote from the Cabinet Office
'The Hantsweb Awards show how Transformational Government is about engaging with citizens and businesses to design services to meet their needs. This greatly increases the understanding people have, and their influence over, the online services they need and use. Encouraging businesses, groups and establishments to offer a choice of high quality, integrated and accessible internet facilities will help deliver tailored internet sites to suit the needs and preferences of the people who use them.'
Andrew Stott, Acting Head of Cabinet Office e-Government Unit
