Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Angela C Smith (Labour). It was answered by John Healey (Labour) on Thursday, 15 June 2006 on behalf of the Treasury.
Climate Change (Taxation)
- Question
- What recent assessment he has made of the impact of the climate change levy on carbon emissions.
- Answer
-
The climate change levy is playing a crucial role in enabling the UK to meet its Kyoto targets. An independent valuation conducted recently by Cambridge Econometrics has examined the levy. It concluded that the levy would, by 2010, deliver annual carbon savings of 3.5 million tonnes. That is far in advance of the forecast of 2 million tonnes of carbon when we introduced the levy.
