answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2024 answer text <p>Please see below in relation to fleet mileage and numbers. Figures for the fleet mileage for the financial year 2023/2024 are not available. This is due to the legacy reporting system used by GCS no longer being supported by the Department for Transports IT suite. Figures for 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 are available as they have had been produced in previous years. The figures for fleet numbers have been collated manually.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>2021/22</p></td><td><p>2022/23</p></td><td><p>2023/2024</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Fleet mileage</p></td><td><p>793,836.00</p></td><td><p>838,113.00</p></td><td><p>Unavailable</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>No. of vehicles</p></td><td><p>87</p></td><td><p>111</p></td><td><p>122</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p>Given the ongoing security context, demand for Ministerial cars has naturally increased. New cars are also purchased before older models are disposed of to ensure operational resilience and we anticipate at least 10 cars will be disposed of in the coming months. Our budget for new cars has remained consistent over recent years and we continue to take into account value for money for the taxpayer, bearing down on costs wherever possible.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Cambridgeshire answering member printed Anthony Browne question first answered 19/04/2024 13:54:36 answering member 4801 label Biography information for Anthony Browne
