To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many and what proportion of (a) cars and (b) other vehicles used by her Department were made in Britain.
Damian Hinds
Minister of State (Education)
The department does not procure vehicles for its own use.
The Government Car Service (GCS) provides vehicles to a number of government departments. Due to logistical and operational reasons, the type of vehicles deployed at each department can vary on a daily or weekly basis. The GCS fleet currently has 122 vehicles, 58 or 48% of which are vehicles made in Britain.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
