Ministers are using a secret limousine service to ferry them around the country, a Mail on Sunday investigation has discovered.
Senior Labour figures are quietly using £60,000 gas-guzzlers to whisk them around in comfort – despite claims that politicians have switched to smaller, cheaper models that are less damaging to the environment.
Among the prominent politicians using the secret luxury car service is the Speaker Michael Martin and his wife Mary, who travel regularly in top-ofthe- range Mercedes and Jaguars.
**As George Orwell said some animals are more equal than others. After all they have very important jobs to do creating socialist equality and like their role models in the former Soviet Union it is fine for them to travel about in luxury Zill motors whilst the rest had to stick with the unreliable East German Trabant.
Last year the Government announced it had spent £900,000 buying 110 hybrid-engined cars for the Government Car and Despatch Agency to cut down on carbon-dioxide emissions, to show voters that it was doing its bit to save the planet.
However, it is an open secret that many Ministers do not like the Toyota Prius – of which 98 were bought.
It has been nicknamed "the milk float" by Government drivers who say the car is slow and has a "tinny rattle".
**The poor darlings, my heart bleeds it really does. That tinny rattle must really put off ministers whilst being transported around. Hell maybe they fail to rise to the occasion when their PA blows them on the back seat, after all we can't have our fine socialist masters being disturbed by a tinny rattle.
A "thank you" letter from former Armed Forces Minister Adam Ingram, who used the company for ten years, hangs on the wall of the firm's Glasgow base.
It reads: "Now that I have stepped down from Government, I want to thank you for ten years of exemplary service."
Another framed testimonial is from the Head of Protocol at the Ministry of Defence.
When Michael Martin arrives back in London, he likes to use a Mercedes laid on by Kelly Executive, which is sub-contracted by Little's.
**Remember its all for the greater good, we have to sacrifice our gas guzzlers to "save the planet" whilst ministers have to use them to avoid a tinny rattle.
Mr Kelly said: "The Government agencies ring us up through their switchboard and book the cars. That is the only way they can be booked.
"Anything that the Government Car Service can't do, they sub-contract the work out to us. It is Ministers and Whips who use the cars mainly.
"The Cabinet will use their own vehicles, although we have done work with Downing Street – for example, if they want to go to the airport."
**Whilst they complain that society is divided our MP's on the Labour side of the House so a desire for the finer things in life. So for a more Soviet approach to the future of the UK, vote for New Labour next election comrades.
