Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many Government bodies use the Government Car Service; and what the average number of journeys has been in each Department in the last 12 months.

Since April 2012, the Government Car Service has provided a Departmental Pool Car (DPC) service to several Government Departments for their ministerial travel, whereby the official car is contracted to a Department rather than allocated to an individual. The use made of these services based at Departments is therefore not held by the Cabinet Office.

As is longstanding practice for security reasons, specific details regarding the allocation of vehicles are also not disclosed.
