Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 5 October 2010.
Government: Ministerial Cars
- Question
- My Lords, is the reduction in the use of ministerial cars a reflection of the priorities of the Government in cutting public expenditure or is it a reflection of the fact that more than half the Cabinet are wealthy enough to be able to afford their own cars and drivers?
- Answer
-
My Lords, whether the Cabinet is wealthy or not is immaterial. The objective is to reduce the government deficit and we will do that any way we can, including by reducing expenditure on the Government’s car fleet.
