  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  @ MP voted aye to remove the cap on payments under "consumer redress orders" (set at 10% of an energy company's turnover) if one or more consumers suffer loss or damage greater than this value.
  @ MP voted no against removing the cap on payments under "consumer redress orders" (set at 10% of an energy company's turnover) if one or more consumers suffer loss or damage greater than this value.
  
  The majority of MPs voted against removing the cap on payments under "consumer redress orders" (set at 10% of an energy company's turnover) if one or more consumers suffer loss or damage greater than this value.
  
  
  MPs were considering the Energy Bill[1][2] when they voted on:
  
  :Amendment 3, page 192, line 18, at end insert âunless one or more consumers have suffered loss or damage greater than this value.â
  
  Previously the clause in question Schedule 14 section 30O(2):
  
  :The maximum amount of compensation that a regulated person may be required to pay in respect of a contravention may not exceed 10 per cent of the personâs turnover.
  
  The payments relate to "consumer redress orders" which require energy companies which breach licence conditions or other relevant regulatory requirements to provide redress to consumers who suffer loss, damage or inconvenience as a result of the breach[4].
