The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many (a) petrol, (b) diesel, (c) hybrid and (d) electric (i) cars, (ii) vans and (iii) other vehicles his Department hired in each of the last five years.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner

The data for Defra has been provided by our supplier of hire cars “Enterprise”.

Data from Enterprise shows the following:

Hires:

Fuel

No of hires

Petrol

5,171

Diesel

660

EV/Hybrid

174

Due to time constraints, we have only engaged with our main vehicle hire suppliers and not where vehicle hire will be supplied as a supplementary service on other contracts, i.e. Welfare Vans through the Plant Hire framework.
