To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether financial penalties have been levied against electric vehicle charge point operators who do not comply with the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023.
Keir Mather
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
As the enforcement authority for the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023, the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) is responsible for monitoring and enforcing compliance with these requirements, including determining any financial penalties that are levied.
The OPSS take a pragmatic and proportionate approach to enforcement in line with the Regulators’ Code. Where an operator is found not to be compliant, the OPSS will seek to engage with the operator where possible to agree a route to compliance. However, where necessary, they will consider the full range of enforcement powers available to them and make final determinations on any financial penalties to be imposed.

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.
