HL Deb 11 October 1999 vol 605 c62WA
Earl Howe

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether it is their intention to exempt renewable energy generation from the proposed Climate Change Levy. [HL4035]

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

The consultation document on the climate change levy issued by Customs & Excise on 9 March asked for views on whether and, if so, how renewable energy generation could be exempted from the levy. The Government are considering this issue carefully in the light of the consultation responses.
