HC Deb 19 December 1988 vol 144 cc82-3W
Mr. Wray

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many cars in the Government pool in Scotland, including Ministers' cars, are capable of taking unleaded petrol; and how many of them still take only leaded petrol.

Mr. Rifkind

Of the 220 vehicles owned by the Scottish Office, including cars for ministerial use, 33 are capable of taking unleaded petrol without any engine adjustments; a further 155 are in the process of being converted to run on unleaded petrol and 32 can still take only leaded petrol, although they will eventually be phased out of service. Cars provided for Ministers and others by the Government car service in Scotland are the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment.
