It is responsible for the compulsory registration of titles to land and buildings in designated areas of England and Wales, which now cover 87 per cent of the population and are expected to be extended to cover the whole of England and Wales by 1990. Expenditure in 1986 - 87 amounted to E92 million, and the Registry received fees of El39 million for its services.

  • Open Data Six Stories About Impact in the UK
    Open Data Six Stories About Impact in the UK Becky Hogge November 2015 Commissioned by Omidyar Network A Message from Omidyar Network In 2010, the year the United Kingdom launched its open data portal, a Transparency & Accountability Initiative report highlighted both the promise and potential of open data to improve services and create economic growth. In the fve years since, the UK’s progress in opening its data has been pioneering and swift, but not without challenges and questions about impact. It’s this qualifed success that prompted us to commission this report in an effort to understand if the promise and potential of open data are being realized, and, specifcally, to… … explore and document open data’s social, cultural, political, and economic impact; … shine a light on the range of sectors and ways in which open data can make a difference; and ... profle the open data value chain, including its supply, demand, use, and re-use. The report’s author, Becky Hogge, fnds that open data has had catalytic and signifcant impact and that, in time, will likely reveal even further value. She also fags critical challenges and obstacles, including closed datasets, valuable data not currently being collected, and important privacy considerations. Omidyar Network has long championed open data as one key ingredient to more effective, effcient, fair governance and a more empowered and engaged citizenry. This report reinvigorates our commitment to this space and our admiration for the organisations and champions working daily to maximize the value of open data. We are deeply grateful to Becky for the impressive rigour and depth with which she approached this research.
