(1-3) I refer the Member to Parliamentary Question LC 454, which detailed the Government's current policy where eligible vehicles are replaced at the end of their lease terms by another six-cylinder vehicle, then 25% of such vehicles should be LPG-powered. Vehicles in the Minister's Office fleet are part of the Department of the Premier and Cabinet's vehicle fleet, which has exceeded the 25% target with 28% of eligible vehicles LPG powered. Across Government, the purchase of LPG-powered vehicles has, at 27%, slightly exceeded the target. There are five vehicles within the Minister for Housing and Works Office Fleet, none at present are LPG/gas powered. (4) Not applicable. (5) No. (6) The Minister's vehicle is due to be replaced later this year.
