The Conservative leadership candidate, who was then the immigration minister, received a six-month driving ban in April 2023 for driving his Land Rover at 68mph in a 40mph zone on the M1 on 5 August 2022.
It has been revealed through a freedom of information request shared with the Guardian that Jenrick's use of the government car service (GCS) increased sharply between April and October 2023, the period of his ban.
Over 13 sitting days of parliament, from Monday 17 April to Sunday 14 May 2023, Jenrick used the service for 51 separate journeys. This was 55% more than the 33 journeys he took from Wednesday 26 October to Wednesday 16 November 2022, just before his driving ban was imposed.
