Business Links

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what the budget for the Business Link website was in 2011-12; and what that budget is in 2012-13.

[124843]

Answer

The Department is not responsible for the budget for the Business Link website as this falls to HM Customs and Revenue. However, I can confirm that the budget for the Business Link website for 2011-12 was £26.746 million and for 2012-13 is £4.728 million. The lower amount for 2012-13 is as a result of the closure of the Business Link website on the 17 October 2012 when it was replaced by the new single domain for government:
