Acknowledgements. The authors are grateful to Ulrich Derenthal and Brendan Hassett for several useful conversations relating to universal torsors for singular del Pezzo surfaces. Special thanks are due to Roger Heath–Brown whose ideas led us to the proof of Lemma 6. The paper was finalised while the first author was at the École Normale Supérieure, and the second author was at Oxford University supported by EPSRC grant number GR/R93155/01.
