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.

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
