Will the Minister ensure that in the preparation of the draft legislation there will be a positive direction to the operating company to ensure that the lead level in the petrol to be produced will conform to the proper European standard?

I am not in a position to tell the Deputy much about that because it is not in my brief but much will depend on the type of mix used. I am sure the Minister will be conscious of the need to minimise the lead content of the petrol.

Could I emphasise the seriousness of this matter and the amount of worry and public unease about the high quantity of lead in our petrol and that this opportunity of refurbishing the refinery should be used to ensure that the end product is safe so far as lead content is concerned?

I shall bring that matter to the Minister's notice.

I am obliged to the Minister.
