Answered by Stephanie Peacock
The Government Car Service offers vehicles to government departments as a shared resource. Each department independently determines the allocation of these vehicles to its ministerial cadre/officials, as under previous administrations.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport is currently allocated 1 vehicle including allocated and shared vehicles.
For security reasons specific details of allocations including make and model of vehicles are not issued.
The average cost to a Department for a single Department Pool Car in 2024/25 financial year is £108K per annum.
