HC Deb 06 March 1989 vol 148 c410W
Ms. Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) what allowance he has made in his Department's budget for each of the next five years to provide for the substitution of HCFC 22 for chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants covered by the Montreal protocol; and if he will make a statement;

(2) what is his best estimate of the amount of chlorofluorocarbons refrigerants under the control of his Department;

(3) what plans there are to minimise the risk of leaks of chlorofluorocarbons from refrigeration and air conditioning systems under his Department's control.

Mr. Neubert

It is our policy to reduce the use of chlorofluorocarbons wherever possible. The information requested is not available centrally and cannot be obtained without disproportionate cost.
