Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many charging points there are for electric vehicles for staff at the offices of the Department for Transport and the Office for Low Emission Vehicles at Great Minster House.

There is no staff or visitor parking at the Department for Transport and Office for Low Emission Vehicles, although there is limited parking available for mobility impaired drivers. Staff are encouraged to use public transport, walk and cycle to work rather than drive in order to ease congestion.

However, one dedicated electric vehicle chargepoint has been installed for electric vehicles in the Government fleet. There is also a double-headed public chargepoint immediately outside Great Minster House, as well as several other chargepoints in the surrounding area.
