Departmental Internet

Volume 494: debated on Thursday 25 June 2009

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions pursuant to the answer of 9 February 2009, Official Report, columns 1636-8W, on the departmental internet, how many (a) unique visitors and (b) page impressions were received by each website operated by her Department in each of the last 12 months. (280793)

[holding answer 18 June 2009]: The following tables outline (a) unique visitors and (b) page views (page impressions for the Jobcentre Plus website) in line with Cabinet Office guidance, for each of the websites maintained by the Department for Work and Pensions as per the answer of 9 February 2009. We cannot produce all the statistics as DWP does not hold some of the figures and due to some technical difficulties we were unable to collect all the figures for each month.
