Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by the Parliamentary Secretary to the Cabinet Office on 2 December 2024 (HC16599), whether (1) the Cabinet Office, or (2) the Government Car Service, has produced guidance for departmental private offices on the allocation of car provision to senior officials; and what criteria determine whether a senior official should be granted the use of a government car.
Neither the Cabinet Office nor the Government Car Service (GCS) provides guidance to departmental private offices on the allocation of cars for senior officials. Individual departments determine the criteria for the use of a government car in accordance with the Ministerial Code and the Civil Service Management Code.
