Question: To ask the Minister of Finance and Personnel to detail the cost of providing cars for (i) Ministers; (ii) Junior Ministers; (iii) civil servants; and (iv) others in each of the last three years; and to outline any planned investment in fleet transport over the next twelve months.
Answer:
The overall costs of providing cars for Ministers, Junior Ministers and civil servants for each of the last 3 years are detailed in the attached table. The figures which include drivers’ salaries, fuel and vehicle maintenance, cannot be split by user category. Cars were not provided for the fourth category ‘others’. A new fleet of 13 Ministerial vehicles has very recently been procured. The total capital and 3-year servicing costs are £252K. There are no current plans to invest in any further fleet transport over the next twelve months. YEAR | TOTAL RUNNING COSTS (salary costs, fuel costs and car maintenance) | 2008-2009 | £433k | 2009-2010 | £441k | 2010-2011 | £470k |
