The next step would be to provide all the information in an open
format. <br>
Just a very quick (random) search for some statistics pointed me to
this page with XSL data only, which is kind of sad. <br>

type="cite">A new government data site, under the direction of world
wide web founder Sir Tim Berners-Lee, has been launched this morning
that provides a repository for NHS figures, crime data, environmental
studies etc. This is the policy of opening up government data to the
public. You will probably find that there will be slow loading times
due to heavy first day demand and I must point out that some of the
statistical data will not be provided free, the UK Government will want
royalties on some of the most important data to reduce the public debt.
