Sir Philip GoodhewTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy what instructions he has given for the modification of cars used by his Department so that they can use unleaded petrol.
§ Mr. ParkinsonMy Department owns only one vehicle, a van, which is unsuitable for conversion to run on unleaded petrol. Full consideration will be given to one capable of so operating when the vehicle is due for replacement. The Crown Suppliers have issued instructions that all vehicles provided by them for departmental use which can be converted to run on unleaded petrol should be so converted at the earliest opportunity.
