HC Deb 01 April 1993 vol 222 cc342-3W
Mr. Harvey

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what plans she has to improve safety inspection arrangements for domestic gas boilers and flues in holiday homes available for commercial rent.

Mr. McLoughlin

The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1984 cover the installation, maintenance and use of most domestic gas appliances. However, they do not require landlords to service such appliances in their properties. The regulations are currently under review and the Health and Safety Commission is expected to publish a consultative document later in the year.
