London Olympics

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport pursuant to his answer of 30 November 2005, Official Report, column 565W, on the London Olympics, which vehicles producing no emissions will be used for (a) spectator and (b) Olympic family transport.

Answer: Vehicles that will be used specifically for Olympic transport have not yet been purchased. In the case of the vehicles to be used for Olympic family transport, we would not anticipate these vehicles being purchased until two to three years before the Olympics. Given the pace of technological development in this field, it is not possible at this time to predict precisely which vehicles will be used. When the vehicles are purchased, we will aim to ensure that the cleanest vehicles possible are used.
