A Chicken in Every Pot, and A Webpage for Every Citizen

Yes, we know Hoover wasn’t British.
On Monday, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown will announce a four year initiative to go paperless. That is, to make every possible interaction between British citizens and their government into something you can do online.
From the Times:
The aim is that within a year, everybody in the country should have a personalised website through which they would be able to find out about local services and do business with the Government. A unique identifier will allow citizens to apply for a place for their child at school, book a doctor’s appointment, claim benefits, get a new passport, pay council tax or register a car from their computer at home.
The savings on paper, postage, and physical government offices are expected to be in the billions.
