HC Deb 25 July 1988 vol 138 c51W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the total number of motor vehicles supplied by his Department for use by each Government Department and the number that have been converted to run on unleaded petrol.

Mr. Chope

I refer to my reply to the hon. Member for Stoke-on-Trent, North (Ms. Walley) on 25 May 1988. 17 vehicles have been converted so far to run on lead-free fuel.

Wherever possible, vehicles are now being converted to run on lead-free fuel and as new models capable of running on both types of fuel without adjustment come into the fleet the need for conversion will progressively diminish.
