For info, if you didn't see this news:

It isn't written if it'll be in continuation of the Open Addresses UK
project (https://alpha.openaddressesuk.org/) or not, but for sure, the
£110 million figure comes from the report of this project
(http://theodi.org/case-studies/open-addresses-the-story-to-date),
figure itself derived from the one provided by the Danish government.
Actually it's worse than that. The actual announcement is here:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/budget-2016-documents/budget-2016#supporting-the-digital-economy
Which says "provide up to £5 million to develop options for an
authoritative address register that is open and freely available" so in
fact that 5 million is just to work out what they might do not to
actually do it ;-)
