HC Deb 11 July 2000 vol 353 c504W
Mr. Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will make a statement about his plans to replace the CORGI registration system for gas installers. [130051]

Mr. Meacher

There are no such plans. The Health and Safety Commission is currently carrying out a review of the gas safety regime, and is likely to report to Ministers within the next few months with its conclusions and recommendations. One of the issues being examined in the review is whether the statutory registration scheme for gas installation businesses is still appropriate. The Commission has not yet formed a view on that question.
