To ask His Majesty's Government what the total value of fines that levied on applied to energy companies for failing to install smart meters in properties within an appropriate timeframe is, broken down by (1) year, and (2) energy company, since 2023-24.
To ask His Majesty's Government what the total value of fines that levied on applied to energy companies for failing to install smart meters in properties within an appropriate timeframe is, broken down by (1) year, and (2) energy company, since 2023-24.
Under new Guaranteed Standards of Performance (GSOP) regulations customers are entitled to £40 compensation if their energy supplier fails to offer a smart meter installation appointment within 6 weeks of the customer requesting one. These regulations came into force on 23rd February 2026 and therefore no performance data is yet available. Ofgem is responsible for compliance and ongoing monitoring of these new Guaranteed standards.
From 2022 until the end of 2025, energy suppliers were required to meet minimum annual installation targets. In 2023, six large suppliers agreed to pay £10.8m into the Voluntary Redress Fund for not meeting 2022 targets.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many fixed penalty notices for school absences were issued in Bath, North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire in the last academic year.
For unauthorised school absences during the 2024/25 academic year, Bath and North East Somerset issued 1,014 penalty notices and South Gloucestershire issued 2,043 penalty notices.
A new national framework for penalty notices came into effect from August 2024 designed to embed our support-first approach and improve consistency and fairness across the country.
Our statutory guidance on attendance makes clear that legal intervention, including prosecution, should only be considered where support has been exhausted, not engaged with or, in the cases of term-time holidays, is not appropriate. The guidance sets out clear expectations on how schools, local authorities and wider services should work together to support attendance for all children.

A new financial penalty of up to £7,000 for a failure to take reasonably practicable steps to remove a category 1 hazard came into force on 22 June.

This statutory guidance seeks to provide a clearer, more transparent and more consistent framework for setting civil penalties across England.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the answer of 8 June 2026, to Question 4343, on Parking Offences: Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, if she will publish the (a) public sector equality duty and (b) environmental principles assessments undertaken for that decision to authorise higher parking charges.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the answer of 8 June 2026, to Question 4343, on Parking Offences: Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, if she will publish the (a) public sector equality duty and (b) environmental principles assessments undertaken for that decision to authorise higher parking charges.
The equality and environmental impacts of the proposal were considered through the policy process. This included identifying no adverse impacts on protected characteristics arising from increased compliance with traffic laws through enforcement by LAs, the potential for illegal parking displacement outside the trial area to affect protected groups and that any negative impacts on equality were not disproportionate. Consequent air quality benefits were also considered, as reducing parking overstays can improve the availability and turnover of parking spaces, thereby reducing the need for vehicles to circulate while searching for parking.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what enforcement mechanisms are being considered for businesses that do not pay PAYE and VAT by Direct Debit; whether penalties have been modelled for non-compliance; whether exemptions have been assessed by sector, including charities; and whether an options appraisal has been undertaken.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what enforcement mechanisms are being considered for businesses that do not pay PAYE and VAT by Direct Debit; whether penalties have been modelled for non-compliance; whether exemptions have been assessed by sector, including charities; and whether an options appraisal has been undertaken.
The government is consulting on proposals to require payment of VAT and PAYE return liabilities by Direct Debit.
No decisions have been taken on the design of any future compliance or enforcement framework. The consultation seeks views on a range of issues, including possible incentives and sanctions to encourage compliance.
The consultation also considers whether exemptions or alternative arrangements may be required for particular taxpayers, and any practical barriers to using Direct Debit. This includes seeking evidence on circumstances where businesses may face challenges in making payments by Direct Debit and welcomes responses from all interested parties, including charities, representative bodies and other organisations, including the financial sector.
The consultation is intended to inform the detailed design of any future policy and implementation framework. As part of this process, the government is seeking evidence on operational impacts, implementation costs and potential exceptions, and stakeholders are encouraged to provide relevant information through the consultation. No final decisions have been taken, and the government will consider consultation responses before determining next steps.
