§ 30. Gillian Merron
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what assessment he has made of the impact of the climate change levy on the combined heat and power industry. [35775]

§ Mr. Boateng
The climate change levy package has delivered significant benefits to the combined heat and power (CHP) industry.
Fuel used by CHP, heat produced by CHP and electricity sold direct from CHP are all free of the levy. CHP plant can also benefit from 100 per cent. Capital Allowances. Nevertheless, as announced in the Pre-Budget Report, the Government will consider the environmental case for providing even more favourable treatment for CHP.
