Departmental Internet

Mr. Heald
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what the cost was of maintaining his Department's website in the 2007-08 financial year; and what the forecast cost is of maintaining websites within his responsibility in the 2008-09 financial year.

Barbara Follett
The cost of maintaining the departmental website for the period 2007-08 was £8,741

This figure covers maintenance on a number of other Department websites. We expect the costs for 2008-09 to be in line with the previous year.
