asked the Prime Minister if he will ask the Central Policy Review Staff to report on the co-ordination and formulation of Her Majesty's Government's policy on lead content of petrol.

I am obliged to my hon. Friend for his suggestion, but I do not regard this as necessary. The appropriate co-ordination for policy making already exists.

asked thes Prime Minister if he will designate one Minister to be responsible for all aspects of lead in petrol to replace the existing arrangement of a shared responsibility between the Departments of the Evironment, Transport, Social Services and Energy.

I refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Bolsover (Mr. Skinner) on 6th November.
