To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether there is a regulation in place which specifies the standard of repairs to the highway which should be carried out after work by utilities is concluded; who is responsible for enforcing this; and whether penalties are enforced.[HL3810]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether there is a regulation in place which specifies the standard of repairs to the highway which should be carried out after work by utilities is concluded; who is responsible for enforcing this; and whether penalties are enforced.[HL3810]
Yes there is. Section 70 of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 provides for a duty on the street works undertaker to reinstate the street. Where this does not happen an offence is committed. Section 71 of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991
states that reinstatement by undertakers must comply with whatever specification may be prescribed for materials and standards of workmanship. The regulations which cover these sections are the Street Works (Reinstatement) Regulations 1992 and these are further described in the Code of Practice Specification for the Reinstatement of Openings in Highways (April 2010). Highway authorities have powers to inspect works and impose appropriate fines, and do so.

The number of defendants proceeded against at magistrates courts and found guilty at all courts for the unlawful eviction of an occupier and the unlawful harassment of an occupier under the Protection from Eviction Act 1977 in England and Wales from 2004 to 2011 (latest available) is given in the tables. Figures are provided by police force area as the Ministry of Justice court proceedings database does not hold details of offences by local authority area.
Court proceedings data held centrally in an aggregated format do not separately identify individual offences under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985. Similarly it is not possible to separately identify the specified offences under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System.
Information on offences under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 is not collated centrally by the Ministry of Justice.

Offences under S.1(2) Protection from Eviction Act
1977. 2 The figures given in the table on court proceedings relate to persons for whom these offences were the principal offences for which they were dealt with. When a defendant has been found guilty of two or more offences it is the offence for which the heaviest penalty is imposed. Where the same disposal is imposed for two or more offences, the offence selected is the offence for which the statutory maximum penalty is the most severe. 4 Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the courts and police forces. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when those data are used. 4 Excludes Cardiff magistrates court records for June, July and August 2008.

Offences under S.1(3) Protection from Eviction Act
1977. 2 The figures given in the table on court proceedings relate to persons for whom these offences were the principal offences for which they were dealt with. When a defendant has been found guilty of two or more offences it is the offence for which the heaviest penalty is imposed. Where the same disposal is imposed for two or more offences, the offence selected is the offence for which the statutory maximum penalty is the most severe. 3 Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the courts and police forces. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when those data are used. 4 Excludes Cardiff magistrates court records for June, July and August 2008.

That this House recognises that many businesses are undergoing challenging times; notes that as few as seven per cent of businesses switch energy suppliers each year, despite the substantial savings that they can make; further notes that many businesses are unaware of when their energy contracts are due to renew and do not recall receiving renewal letters; believes that more ought to be done to ensure that customers are aware of the terms of their contract renewal, including renewal letters being sent by recorded delivery; and urges the Government to encourage swift action from Ofgem through its Retail Market Review.
