Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how many (a) fossil fuel-, (b) electric- and (c) hybrid-powered road-legal vehicles their Department purchased in the last 24 months.

The FCDO does not hold detailed information centrally on the number of vehicles purchased in the current financial year. The FCDO's Fixed Asset Register records the number of vehicles that are brought into service. This is not broken down by fuel type. The Register added 307 vehicles between 1 April 2020 and 31 March 2022. The FCDO maintains a policy for the purchase of low emission vehicles requiring these to not exceed 75g of Carbon Dioxide per Kilometre and preferably to not exceed 50g of Carbon Dioxide per Kilometre, subject to certain exemptions including local availability.
