§ Mr. Skeetasked the Secretary of State for Energy if he has estimated the cost of converting cars to run on liquid petroleum gas through modification of the petrol tank, fuel feed and carburettor.
§ Mr. ButcherI have been asked to reply.
The cost of conversion to liquid petroleum gas varies between car models, some of which can be quoted directly by manufacturers based on previous experience of supply, whereas others would need to be estimated; but again this would have to be done by the manufacturers at the request of potential users.
