The bill expands the scope of regulation-making powers to enable gas governance arrangements to be made that provide for a broad regime for the disclosure of information about matters that may have a significant downstream impact, or may contribute to the risk of critical gas shortages. The bill proposes that in order for these regulations to be made, the Government must first receive a recommendation from the industry co-regulator, the Gas Industry Company. This is consistent with the current co-regulatory approach for the sector. The Gas Industry Company has been undertaking work to investigate improvements to voluntary information disclosure since I wrote to them on the topic in mid-2018. These amendments are complementary to this and provide clear regulatory backing for a potential regulated information disclosure regime.
