The Department does not purchase vehicles.

In terms of existing vehicles, the Department currently contracts with the Government Car Service, which is a division within the Department for Transport, for the provision of two cars. The vehicles supplied to the Department by the Government Car Service are owned and operated by the Department for Transport and are leased by the Department.

The vehicle fuel type can vary depending on which car has been allocated to cover on that day. Generally, the cars are electric or hybrid.
