Departmental Internet

Volume 495: debated on Friday 3 July 2009

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how much was spent on the maintenance of his departmental website in each year since 2007. (278140)

The Ministry does not separately identify expenditure on website maintenance in its accounting records. However, the Ministry's Electronic Service Delivery division holds offline records for the following business areas:

2007-08

Ministry of Justice HQ

It is not possible to reliably distinguish website maintenance costs from other IT expenditure for HM Courts Service and the National Offenders Management Service except at disproportionate cost.
