The Government Car Service (GCS) offers vehicles to Government departments as a shared resource. Each department independently determines the allocation of these vehicles.

The arrangements relating to the using of vehicles in the GCS are set out in the Civil Service Management Code.

There has been no change in this policy since the general election.
