§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what the total cost of his Department's website was in real terms in each of the last four years; and how many hits it received in each of those years. [36144]
§ Mr. WillsThe total annual cost of the LCD website could not be obtained without incurring disproportionate costs because website related work is not differentiated from other work in the production and publication of departmental material.
The number of unique visitors (a more reliable indicator of individuals accessing web pages than hits) to the Department's website, www.lcd.gov.uk is as follows:
Number 1997–98 54,688 1998–99 147,958 1999–2000 291,582 2000–01 358,161
