  • the statutory obligations
  • the enforcement regime which core fuel sector participants may be subject to should an offence be committed
  • the circumstances in which the Secretary of State may take action, and how they will exercise their functions in relation to enforcement undertakings
  • how the procedure for enforcement undertakings will work in practice
