Treasury: Official Cars

Asked by Charlie DewhirstConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 14 October 2024UIN 7020

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answers of 6 September 2024 to Questions 2306 and 2308 on Ministers: Official Cars, which (a) Ministers and (b) officials in her Department have (i) been allocated a dedicated vehicle and (ii) access to use of a shared vehicle from the Government Car Service; what the (A) make, (B) model and (C) fuel type is for each car; and what the budget was for those cars in the 2024-25 financial year.

Answered by James Murray

HM Treasury has one departmental car that is allocated to the Chief Secretary, and it is used by other Treasury junior ministers when available. Due to driver working patterns it is not always the exact same make and model of car. The budget for this service is £120,000 per year.
