I currently have an automatic-only licence - will having a manual licence increase my insurance?

I have held an automatic licence for the last six years. I would like to change it to manual one. Do you think this will increase my insurance premium by more than £200 a year?

Having a licence for both a manual and automatic should reduce rather than increase your premium.
