§ Mr. Simon HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will state, in tonnes, the total amount of ozone-destroying chemicals used by his Department in 1991; if he will list the military specifications his Department issues which require the use of an ozone-depleting chemical; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonFigures for the quantities of ozone-depleting substances used by the Department in 1991 are not available and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. Arrangements have been made to modify MOD standards and specifications to eliminate the requirement to use ozone-depleting substances as alternative substances or means become available.
