Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how many claims for compensation have been made under the Gas (Street Works) (Compensation of Small Businesses) Regulations 1996, since the start of 2025.
Answered by Polly Billington - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The compensation entitlement under these Regulations is a private statutory right against a gas transporter. The Regulations do not create a regime that is administered or overseen by Government or Ofgem. Therefore, the data being sought is not held by Government.
