As the Deputy is aware, Ministerial State cars are placed at the disposal of Government Ministers pursuant to a long standing arrangement. Factors such as fuel efficiency and safety are taken into account in making purchases for the Ministerial Fleet. I have been further informed that all cars in the Ministerial Fleet are petrol driven models (with the exception of the Lexus GS 450H vehicles which are powered by petrol and electricity). Details of the amount of fuel used by each Government Minister's car are not available.
