Part 2: Electric Vehicles: Charging Chapter 2: Policy background Section 16: Enforcement
This Section confers power on the Secretary of State to make regulations so as to enforce compliance with the requirements in this Part. These regulations may set out a civil penalty regime and the process for determining whether there has been a failure to comply with any of the requirements. It is likely the Secretary of State will identify and nominate an existing body to undertake enforcement of any regulations. For example, if it is found by the enforcement authority that there has been a failure to comply, the enforcement authority will be able to issue a financial penalty that is payable into the consolidated fund.
	Subsection (3) provides that regulations may make provision for conferring powers which may be required in determining whether a breach of the requirements has taken place. These include a power to enter any land, to inspect documents or things, and to remove any thing for testing or inspection.
