HC Deb 23 January 1996 vol 270 c197W
Mr. Raynsford

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what advice he has given to the Building Regulations Advisory Committee on the likely timetable for implementation of proposed amendments to part M of the Building Regulations. [10265]

Mr. Robert B. Jones

Papers setting out my Department's views on a programme of work on various aspects of the building regulations, including part M, were discussed by the Building Regulations Advisory Committee at meetings in June and October last year. These papers included possible implementation dates taking into account, among other things, the time needed for consultation and analysis. Decisions on the timetable for individual items will depend on the rate of progress achieved at each stage.
