HC Deb 16 February 1972 vol 831 c91W
14. Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he is taking to publicise the environmental benefits of liquid petroleum gas as compared to other forms of fuel for road vehicles.

Mr. Peyton

None. Reductions in pollution from vehicles can best be achieved by setting standards which all new vehicles, however fuelled, must meet.

82. Mr. Wilkinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what analysis he has sponsored into the effects of liquid petroleum gas injection in diesel engines and the consequent reduction in smoke emission and air pollution.

Mr. Peyton

None. New diesel-engined vehicles will be required to comply with the strict smoke emission levels of the British Standard on diesel engines after 1st October this year.
