"Government plans to offer citizens a single logon for all government services, have been scrapped. The single logon would have been available under the Government Connects programme, enabling secure interaction between central and local government and citizens. However, the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) has decided to stop investment into the CGI Excelsior software, which would have provided the single logon. Instead, they have chosen to use the Cabinet Office's government gateway system, which is currently used as the authentication device for submitting online tax returns."
