To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of removing 90 day termination convenience clauses from charge point operator contracts.
Lilian Greenwood
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Department has worked extensively with stakeholders including industry to develop procurement guidance for local authorities which encourages private investment in electric vehicle charging infrastructure. This includes recommendations around the appropriate termination clauses, where termination at convenience is explicitly excluded.
Local authorities are the contracting authorities responsible for their procurements, who need to make the assessment and determination on termination clauses in their contracts.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
