For the Deputy's information, the Office of Public Works provide the premises and ancillary facilities used as Department's offices. In some cases, car parking is provided as part of these arrangements. The Department also contracts car parking facilities directly in a small number of locations as the staff require their cars for official purposes and must transfer significant materials that are confidential and contain personal data.
