Government and Personal Data

Offshoring of Government data (that is any data held by Gov Depts being) has been fairly strictly controlled to a few countries. If memory serves me right it doesn't like any data going outside the EEA.

So I wonder if the Cabinet Office OGSIRO has issued a missive to Depts to ask which of them still us Google services. It wasn't all that long ago that some *large* ones did.
