HC Deb 23 March 1999 vol 328 cc125-6W
Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what involvement fleet managers have had in drawing up his Department's Green Transport Plan. [77964]

Mr. Hain

[holding answer 22 March 1999]: The Welsh Office does not run a large fleet of vehicles and therefore does not have a Fleet Manager. However, the Department's car purchasing and hiring arrangements reflect a concern for the environment. Current practice is to replace petrol driven vehicles with those fitted with catalytic converters and run on unleaded petrol. All vehicles are regularly serviced and fuel consumption, mileage and maintenance costs are closely monitored. These policies will be reflected in the Department's Green Transport Plan.

Following the transfer of functions, this issue will be a matter for the National Assembly.
