Nick Clegg Mr Clegg said we had to strike a balance between "getting prices down and keeping the lights on"

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has hinted that the government could seek to pay for the "green levies" on fuel bills through general taxation.

This would enable the coalition to scrap the levies while not abandoning their environmental policies, he said.

Mr Clegg also stressed that he was confident he and the prime minister could "resolve" their differences.

The PM has said that bills are at "unacceptable levels" and promised to "roll back" environmental regulations.
