The problem is that it has started to bring me wee presents; namely voles.
Although flattered by its consideration I don't want dead body parts
littering up my carpets. How do I discourage this?

I think it's going to be hard if you got the cat to deal with mice; what I
use with my cat is a beeping, flashing collar that I got here in UK, so you
should be able to find it somewhere, but that might well defeat the object
if you got the cat as a mouser. Other than that, I have no idea how you'd
encourage the cat to get rid of mice but not bring in voles, though if the
mouse problem has cleared up enough, then I'd definitely recommend the
collar, as it's worked wonders in reducing the amount of presents I'm
blessed with.
