division_name: Opposition Day &#8212; [5th allotted day] &#8212; Energy Company Licence Revocation
motion: <p class="" pid="b.292.3/1" pwmotiontext="yes">I beg to move,</p>
  
  <p class="" pid="b.292.3/2" pwmotiontext="yes">That this House believes that consumers have a right to be treated fairly and be confident that energy companies will meet their obligations and provide good services; further believes that where companies breach these obligations, decisive action should be taken to put things right and prevent further breaches; notes that since 2001 Ofgem has imposed at least 31 fines totalling at least &#163;90 million; further notes that despite these financial penalties energy companies face another 11 investigations with four additional cases at informal review stage; further notes that the regulator already has the power to revoke energy companies&#8217; licences in certain limited circumstances, but not where energy companies comply with a penalty notice and then commit further breaches of their licence; and therefore calls on the Government to provide the energy regulator for Great Britain with a new statutory power to revoke energy companies&#8217; licences where there are repeated instances of the most serious and deliberate breaches of their licence conditions which harm the interests of consumers.</p>
  
  <p pid="b.343.1/1" pwmotiontext="yes">Ayes 214, Noes 298.</p>
