HC Deb 16 February 1981 vol 999 c25W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if, in view of its financial character, he will seek to withdraw the Gas Levy Bill with a view to including the provisions in the forthcoming Finance Bill.

Mr. Norman Lamont

No. It is not uncommon to introduce a new income-raising measure by means of a Bill for the particular purpose.
