The regime was replaced by the regime set out in the Enterprise Act 2002 which allows the Secretary of State to intervene in certain newspaper and media merger cases that raise public interest concerns.</p><p> </p><p>The Communications Act 2003 gives the Secretary of State powers to vary conditions by accepting new undertakings in place of the previous conditions. Where new undertakings are accepted, they are subject to the monitoring and enforcement provisions under the 2002 Enterprise Act in place of penalties under the FTA 1973. This enables the Secretary of State to make enforcement orders if they consider an undertaking has not been fulfilled, or will not be fulfilled.</p><p> </p><p>If an enforcement order is not complied with the Secretary of State or the Competition and Markets Authority can bring proceedings for an injunction. If a party did not comply with an injunction this would amount to contempt of court, which can be punished by a fine or imprisonment.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 28/01/2019 19:11:05 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright

In December last year, we published our approach to establishing a regulated framework for heat networks. We set out three priorities for the sector: protecting consumers; building investment; and maximising the decarbonisation benefits of heat networks. This built on the Competition and Market Authority’s recommendations for heat network regulation, published in the summer.</p><p>We intend to consult on more detailed policy proposals later this year. Any subsequent legislation would be introduced when Parliamentary time allows.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 28/01/2019 17:35:37 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
