The Government is taking decisive steps against such websites.<\/p>
<\/p>
Officials are working with various government organisations and search engine providers to raise awareness and ensure appropriate enforcement action is taken. Ministers recently met with Google and as a result, Google has taken down a series of adverts. Similar work will be carried out with other search engine providers.<\/p>
<\/p>
The National Trading Standards Board will receive an additional £120,000 to clamp down on misleading websites.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has issued messages on Twitter and gov.uk to advise customers that gov.uk is the only official website. Officials have worked with the press to inform customers that they may be charged an unnecessary fee if they do not use gov.uk. The DVLA is arranging to amend forms, leaflets and envelopes to make the correct website clearer for customers. Officials will continue to issue appropriate communications to help raise awareness of these sites.<\/p>

Many of these sites have multiple instruments measuring different pollutants.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> The Automatic and Urban Network has 130 sites that provide information on five key pollutants on an hourly basis. Information from this network is updated hourly on the UK Air website to provide the most recent data to the public.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> An extensive Programme of maintenance, auditing and site inspections is required to maintain the networks operation. EU directives state that instruments must be operational for a minimum period of time for data to be reported and these requirements are met in our annual compliance reporting.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> It is therefore not possible to provide information on the specific times when instruments were not operational during the last four years, but I refer the hon.
