Mrs. Beckett

To ask the President of the Board of Trade, pursuant to his answer of 29 January,Official Report, column 511, if he will provide details of the outstanding moneys that the fossil fuel levy will recover after privatisation of Nuclear Electric; and how they will be paid to British Energy. [17834]

Mr. Lang

Any outstanding moneys will be paid to Magnox Electric, rather than British Energy. The amount will depend on a number of factors that are still uncertain, such as the level of electricty consumption this year.
