Official Cars: Procurement
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether he has had recent discussions with Cabinet colleagues on (a) the potential merits of prioritising British made vehicles through procurement and (b) holding accurate data on the number of British and non-British made vehicles procured across Government and its agencies.
Answered by Chris Ward
This Government is committed to ensuring public procurement drives growth across the UK and supports British businesses.
We have consulted on procurement reforms to further boost domestic supply chains and create more opportunities for businesses across the UK, including across the vehicle manufacturing sector. We will be publishing the consultation outcome - and legislative proposals - soon.
Data on the number of British and non-British made vehicles procured across the Government and its agencies is not held centrally.
