This Bill would require letter boxes in new buildings and new front doors to be positioned in line with the BS EN 13724:2013 standard. It seeks to standardise where mail slots go in new properties and would apply to the design and construction process. If passed, builders and developers would need to ensure compliance.
The Bill has had its first reading and is now at the second reading in the Commons. It has not yet reached committee stage or the Lords, and no voting data is available.

This Bill will therefore make no further progress.
