Scottish Executive - Accident Reports

Information Released in Response to an FOI Request

Title Scottish Executive - Accident Reports
Description All accident reports, and details of the associated costs of repairs and settlement of claims by third parties related to self insured vehicles used for the public service of the Crown and driven by those employed by the Scottish Executive from January 1, 2004 to November 2005.
Publication Date March 20, 2006
Charge Free.

Details released cover all accidents from January 2004 to the end of November 2005, for vehicles used for the public service of the Crown and driven by those employed by the Scottish Executive. These vehicles are either owned or hired by the Scottish Executive.

As is the position in most Government Departments the Scottish Executive is not required under Crown indemnity to take out comprehensive insurance on its fleet of vehicles or any vehicles hired. The exemption of Crown vehicles from the compulsory insurance requirements of the Road Traffic Act depends on the purpose for which the vehicle is used, not on the ownership of the vehicle, and applies only when the vehicle is being used for the public service of the Crown and driven by those who are employed by the Scottish Executive.

Given this exemption the Scottish Executive has opted to self-insure its fleet of vehicles, including the majority of vehicles hired. This means the Executive saves on payment of insurance premiums and provides the most cost-effective option for tax payers. The Executive regularly tests the insurance market to ensure we continue to achieve the best value for money.

This table below provides a summary of the accidents incurred, details of costs, and third party claims. Copies of accident reports* can be obtained by contacting 0131 555 5945
