HC Deb 03 June 1991 vol 192 cc8-9W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy when he anticipates a fall in the level of the nuclear levy.

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

The percentage rate of the levy may fluctuate from one year to another, depending largely on whether any correction is needed for past over- or under-recovery of the levy. However, I am confident that the levy rate will follow a downward trend over the next seven years.
