uin	HL14222
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2019 answer text <p>The Carbon Emissions Tax has not been introduced in the UK and would only be introduced in the event the UK leaves the EU without a deal. Therefore, there is no current revenue from this tax.</p><p>Revenue from the Carbon Price Support rate and from EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) auctions are not directly hypothecated with revenue going into the Consolidated Fund. The UK spends far in excess of the 50% of revenues from the EU ETS auctions required by the EU on climate and energy areas, for example, the UK will spend at least £5.8bn on international climate finance, helping developing countries mitigate and adapt to climate change through coalitions and partnerships, between 2016 and 2020. The UK has committed to spending over £2.5bn on research into low carbon innovation, including clean energy, between 2015 and 2021.</p><p>Government has committed to a £6bn programme of spend on home energy efficiency and also to tackling fuel poverty, with all of the current Energy Company Obligation focused on low income and vulnerable households.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 12/03/2019 14:58:48 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley

This includes trade agreements.</p><p> </p><p>A number (including Canada, Chile, Israel, Switzerland, and groupings such as the Southern African Customs Union and Eastern and Southern Africa EPA States) have already publicly welcomed this approach (Library deposit of 13 September DEP2018-0926 provides a list of countries). Others are, understandably, waiting for the notification to be issued before responding formally.
