A Bill to make provision for a review of the Building Regulations 2000 with regard to the installation of automatic fire suppression systems in new residential premises.
House of Lords
2 May 2012
The Building Regulations (Review) Bill aims to require a formal review of the Building Regulations 2000 to assess whether automatic fire suppression systems should be installed in new residential premises. It does not create immediate new duties; rather, it sets out a process to evaluate feasibility, costs and safety benefits, with any regulatory changes to follow only if the review recommends them.
The bill is currently at the Second Reading in the Commons. If it progresses, it would move through the usual stages (Committee, Report) in due course.
