Mr. Greg Knight

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office how many Government websites comply with W3C standards. [100693]

Mr. Alexander

The Government Interoperability Framework and the Guidelines for UK Government Websites require that all Government websites that employ hypertext markup languages comply with published W3C's standards. Responsibility for adopting the W3C standards rests with those in charge of individual websites and is not centrally monitored.

Mr. Greg Knight

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office how many Government websites have a PCIS rating. [100696]

Mr. Alexander

PICS labels are registered through a third-party organisation, the Internet Content Rating Association, and I have asked them to check for the latest figures. I will write to the right hon. Gentleman when these figures are available.
