HC Deb 13 March 1989 vol 149 c87W
69. Mr. Summerson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what further steps he will take to promote unleaded petrol.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

Measures to promote unleaded petrol are co-ordinated by the unleaded petrol group, which I chair. The Government provide a range of information and publicity material. On Friday, I launched Tyne and Wear lead-free petrol week, one of a series of national and local weeks which we support. Other initiatives are being pursued. Motability has responded to our request for help in encouraging the wider use of unleaded petrol: its campaign has the full support of Government.
