Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 8 September 2015 to Question 8254, what the overall value is of climate change levy tax waived for levy exemption certificates (a) in each region and (b) for each type of renewable and low carbon technology in each of the last four years.

The Climate Change Levy (CCL) renewable source exemption was administered on a national basis and available to all renewable technology. Only a very detailed analysis of Ofgem's records would enable the government to provide a breakdown of value of CCL waived in each region and for each type of renewable technology, which cannot be justified on the grounds of cost.
