Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how much was collected in environmental levies from businesses in Scotland in each of the last five years.

Environmental levies are spread across all consumers in Great Britain and recovered by energy suppliers. What is paid by businesses in Scotland will vary year by year, depending on how much energy is consumed.

The figures for environmental levies across Great Britain are published by the Office for Budget Responsibility alongside the Budget and Statement fiscal events. The latest figures are available here http://obr.uk/efo/economic-fiscal-outlook-november-2017/ ;and outturn data for the last five years can be accessed on the same site. This data is not broken down by country or by the type of consumer.
