Edit: Ignore this, its wrong. I was looking in the wrong place. Should have been http://gov.uk.

I've just (17:10 utc) at the source for http://digital.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/ and http://digital.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/2012/10/16/gov-uk-the-st... there is only one occurrence of the string "google" in the page, and that is is link to a font called 'cabin':

<link rel='stylesheet' id='linen-accent-font-style-css' href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cabin:bold type='text/css' media='all' />

Doesn't look like they are using google analytics to me, at least not now.

"We track usage of the site with Google Analytics, using their API heavily to build dashboards"

http://digital.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/govuk-launch-colophon/

@andyjohnson0 - it's in there, around line 29 in the source.

    _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-26179049-1']);

We're also referring to http://gov.uk, which is what the OP link refers to, not the OP link itself.

Thanks! You're right and I'm wrong. I've edited my comment to make this clear.

Yep, it's there, forgot to allow scripts (I use NoScript) before using Firebug to check the scripts! Doh!!
