Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what proportion of the vehicles used by her Department on Government business are electric vehicles.

At present across the Home Office Fleet there are no pure electric vehicles.

The Home Office currently has 15% of its total fleet that are plug in hybrid electric vehicles.

The Home Office is working towards the Office for Low Emission Vehicles ‘Road to Zero’ target of 25% of fleet cars to be low emission at the tailpipe by 2022. Against that target (which relates only to cars), the Home Office currently has 19% of its fleet as qualifying with 241 plug in hybrid vehicles from a total of 1282 qualifying vehicles.
