Ministerial cars

Asked if it was correct that Ministers could take their red boxes on trains but could not open them, the PMS replied that he was not aware of any specific rules about where a Minister could and could not open their red boxes; Ministers would use their judgement.

The PMS said that it was not the case that Ministerial boxes were only allowed to travel around in cars. There were a lot of things that went into Ministerial boxes that were not confidential, such as letters for signing. Asked if there were any new rules in regard to carrying data on CDs, the PMS said that he was unaware of any new rules.

Asked if there would be fewer ministerial cars, the PMS said that the intention in this case was to save money, so it was his understanding that there would be fewer cars. Asked what would happen to the cars that Ministers no longer used, the PMS advised people to speak to the Department for Transport.
