Ministry of Defence (MOD) policy is that, generally, official cars are pooled rather than allocated. No MOD civil servants currently have a dedicated driver.

A small number of officials are, however, provided with a car to enable them to carry out essential duties. This includes some chaplains, welfare officers, recruiters, safety inspectors, housing officers and security staff.
