HC Deb 24 March 1994 vol 240 cc393-4W
Mr. Battle

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment on how many occasions he has been asked to use his powers under A1 regulation 6(3) of the Building Regulations 1985 to withdraw his approval from a designated body, on the grounds that it had not operated responsibly in accordance with the Building Regulations 1985.

Mr. Baldry

Regulation 4 of the Building (Approved Inspectors etc) Regulations 1985 gives the Secretary of State power to designate a body for the approval of inspectors. As no such body has been approved, questions of withdrawal of approvals using the powers under regulation 6(3) do not arise.
