What it is
Keyword Atom feeds over all UK government news & communications (/search/news-and-communications.atom?keywords=data+centre|center, 20 items each). Open Government Licence v3.0.
Quirks
The keyword search matches body text, so many items only mention data centres in passing and are dropped. /search/all* is disallowed by robots; the news-and-communications feed is allowed. Text kept (public sector).
