Techworld - Britain has a new government but the IT industry is likely to face a prolonged period of uncertainty as the new occupants of Downing Street assess their options. The new Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition has said it will cancel some high profile government IT projects - such as the National Identity Scheme - and make substantial cuts in public spending. Outsourcing and offshoring are expected to play a crucial part of the budget reduction process.
