The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answers of 14 October 2024 to Questions 7031 and 7032 on Department for Transport: Official Cars, which senior officials in her Department have access to a government car; and whether those officials had that access before the general election.

Answered by Mike Kane

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 Government Car Service is set out in the Civil Service Management Code.

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