Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many people in Northern Ireland received an exemption from carbon price floor for taxable commodities used in electricity generation in (a) 2015-16, (b) 2016-17 and (c) 2017-18.
HMRC does not hold sufficiently detailed information on the beneficiaries of these reliefs to be able to answer these questions. HMRC does not require this level of detail because it would place a disproportionate administrative burden on business.
