Skills department under fire for poor web performance

MPs criticise new department for having "one of the poorest web sites"

DIUS had one of the worst web sites in Whitehall

The Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS) has been criticised
by MPs for having "until recently one of the poorest web sites in Whitehall".

The comments came from the Commons committee tasked with shadowing the
department, in a scathing report on its record since being formed 18 months
ago from the break-up of the old Department of Education and Skills and
Department of Trade and Industry.

The MPs complained that, for much of the first year, DIUS did not even have a search facility, and that when one was added the results it produced "were often
less than satisfactory".
