Cars were used on more than 208 occasions solely to transfer official documents in 2020Scottish ministers have been criticised for using chauffeur-driven cars to deliver documents around the country. Government cars, meant for transporting officials and ministers, were used on more than 208 occasions solely to transfer official documents in 2020. SponsoredThe figures are set to be higher as the Scottish government refused to disclose journeys used for the first minister, lord advocate and solicitor-general. The documents, obtained through a freedom of information request, did not disclose the costs of each trip. But they did reveal that the cost for the Government Car Service (GCS) was £903,002 last year.
