Written Question
Official Cars: Security
Tuesday 17th January 2023

Asked by: Iain Duncan Smith (Conservative - Chingford and Woodford Green)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps (a) 10 Downing Street and (b) other Government departments have taken to ensure government cars do not contain preinstalled electronic devices that may threaten the security of both the occupants and HM Government.

Answered by Jeremy Quin

As has been the case under successive administrations, it is government policy not to comment on security procedures.

Government cars are subject to regular security checks and have robust protections in place.
