§ Ms Beverley HughesProposals to change Part L of the Building Regulations were put out to public consultation in June this year, and over 350 responses have been received. These proposals are now being re-examined by my Department in conjunction with the Building Regulations Advisory Committee, and I hope to receive the Committee's recommendations in the first half of next year.
