§ Dr. MarekTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if any vehicles belonging to or used by his Department and used on public roads run on leaded petrol.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonMost vehicles used by the Ministry of Defence on public roads either run on unleaded petrol, or use diesel fuel. However, there is a residual number of vehicles, in particular some types of Land-Rover, which run on leaded petrol and which it would not be cost effective to convert to unleaded fuel. As they reach the end of their useful life they are replaced with vehicles which can run on unleaded petrol or are diesel-engined.
