View answerThe information requested by the Deputy in respect of 15 websites provided by my Department is set out in the table.
In a number of instances, Business Units responsible for some sites record the number of "page hits" rather than the number of "unique visits". In these cases, I am supplying the Deputy with the number of "page hits".
