Government Departments: Aviation
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the answer of 10 February 2026 to Question 108240 on Government Departments: Aviation, which Minister commissioned a helicopter through the Cabinet Office Central Travel Contract.
Answered by Chris Ward
The Prime Minister’s Office commissioned the helicopter through the Cabinet Office Central Travel Contract.
Ministerial travel is carefully considered to ensure both efficiency and the interests of the taxpayer are prioritised.
While the Cabinet Office can facilitate helicopter travel in exceptional circumstances, routine helicopter journeys for ministers are no longer carried out under this Government.
