I propose to take Questions Nos. 178 and 180 together.

The National Public Procurement Operations Unit has not awarded any contracts, or instigated any procurement process, for the purchase of electric or zero-emission cars for State use. The Unit has not been made aware of any requirement for such vehicles by any Government service.
