Govt shifts its website

The government has passed control of its Directgov service to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
Directgov is a series of websites, which bring together the government's vast amount of public service information.
DWP permanent secretary, Leigh Lewis, said it "touches every citizen's life" and explained that the DWP was "committed to improving the way government communicates with citizens".
Launched in 2004, the service allows users to tax their cars, renew their passports or find local schools and health centres.
"Directgov has an excellent track record in joining up government services and providing information to the public in a way that is accessible and easy to use," he added.
It also joins local and central government and attracts around seven million visitors each week.
The internet is increasingly dividing into smaller, more specialised networks, which cater for specific tastes.
