To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if she will exempt the nuclear energy industry from the climate change levy. [71549]

I have been asked to reply.

The climate change levy is designed to encourage energy efficiency across the business and public sectors and to increase the use of sustainable forms of energy. The Government have no plans to exempt nuclear energy from the levy.
