Departmental Travel

Volume 494: debated on Tuesday 16 June 2009

To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport how many journeys officials from his Department have made in vehicles provided by the Government Car and Despatch Agency using B5 biodiesel in the last 12 months. (279466)

The Government Car and Despatch Agency does not record whether diesel purchased for use in the one diesel car it allocated to the Department for Transport during 2008-09 was biodiesel blend or ordinary low sulphur diesel. Furthermore, the Agency does not record individual journey details of allocated vehicles. This information could be obtained only at a disproportionate cost.
