From Brent Council - http://bit.ly/2iiv27: ’ Information about the availability of Open Data on local authority websites is now being added to the eGovernment Register to provide an overview of progress towards the provision of data for public re-use by local government.

’The eGov Register will be updated to hold details of datasets from UK local authorities which are available for public re-use. These are categorised and searchable with links to the data source and any associated information.’
