The British government has spent tens of thousands of pounds developing iPhone applications, the BBC reports.

A Freedom of Information (FOI) request revealed that development costs ranged from £10,000 – £40,000.

These included a travel advice app from the Foreign Office and a jobseekers’ tool.

But the Home Office declined the FOI request for information on its iPhone apps, saying security concerns “prevent us from supplying information”.
