The Committee will hold a follow-up oral evidence session with the Minister, Stephen Williams MP, on the Government’s response to the Committee’s recent report, Building regulations certification of electrical installation and repairs in dwellings.

Commenting on the Government’s response, Committee Chair, Clive Betts said

The Committee’s report drew heavily on the evidence we took from electricians. Many of them had serious concerns about the arrangements for checking the quality of electrical work carried out in homes. This is a safety issue. The Government has rejected not just our report but those concerns. It is only right that we call the Minister back to explain the Government’s attitude.
