Via BBC -
Of 951 sites, only 26 will definitely stay, 551 will definitely close and hundreds more are expected to follow.
In future government information will be streamlined through two main sites - Directgov and Business Link.
The Cabinet Office called it a natural step as people shifted their interest to use what it called "supersites" such as Directgov and the BBC website.
The annual report on "transformational strategy", published on Wednesday, said 90 websites had already been closed.
Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden said there had been a need to "deal decisively" with the proliferation of government websites.
About £9m a year was expected to be saved over three years by cutting back on "vanity" sites that do not serve a useful purpose.

Sounds like a smart plan to me...
