Public register of fire risk assessments

Part of Fire Safety Bill – in a Public Bill Committee at 3:00 pm on 25 June 2020.

Alert me about debates like this

“(1) The Secretary of State must, by regulations, make provision for a register of fire risk assessments made under article 9 (risk assessment) of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (SI 2005/1541).

(2) Those regulations must provide that the register is—

(a) publicly available; and

(b) kept up-to-date.

(3) Regulations under this section are—

(a) to be made by statutory instrument; and

(b) subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.”—

This new clause would enable would-be renters and owners to check the fire safety status of their potential home, like the EPC register.
