Robert Jenrick's use of taxpayer-funded government cars surged by 55% during his six-month driving ban, raising questions about the necessity of such trips.
During his driving ban, Jenrick made 51 journeys with the government car service over 13 sitting days, notably higher than his previous travel habits.
The ministerial code allows for the use of government cars under the premise of working while traveling, but scrutiny intensifies given the circumstances of Jenrick's increased use.
Comparatively, his colleague Tom Tugendhat showed a significant reduction in government car use during his own driving ban, making only 11 journeys in that timeframe.
