Letter from John King to Mr. Brian Donohoe, dated 17 January 1997:
I have been asked by Mr. Freeman, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (who has Ministerial responsibility for the Government Car Service (GCS)), to provide you with a response to your Parliamentary Question concerning the use of personalised number plates by the Government Car Service. I am the Chief Executive of the Agency with operational responsibility for the GCS.I can confirm that the Government Car Service does not have any number plates which are personalised to individual users or to the GCS itself.We do however have one number plate which does not include a letter indicating the cars year of registration. This is used on a 15 year old Daimler Limousine which operates as part of the pool fleet. It is the only Limousine on the fleet.
