The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what his Department's policy is on the allocation of Government Car Service cars to senior officials; what the policy was on 24 May 2024; and which senior officials have been granted access to the service since 4 July 2024.

Answered by Ian Murray

The Scotland Office follows the policy of the Government Car Service on the allocation of Government Car Service cars to senior officials under a contract agreed by the previous government. This states that the Department can make the Service available for other senior officials at the department at their discretion. No Scotland Office senior officials have used the vehicle since 4 July 2024.
