HC Deb 10 January 2001 vol 360 cc570-1W
Mr. Clappison

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what proportion of the proceeds from the climate change levy he estimates will be obtained from electricity generated from(a) nuclear power, (b) hydroelectric power and (c) renewable sources. [143681]

Mr. Timms

Climate change levy will be payable on the non-domestic use of energy. It is not possible to distinguish between domestic and non-domestic electricity according to how it is generated. Electricity from all sources is expected to account for some 70 per cent. of the levy proceeds. Energy from new renewable sources will be exempt.
