House of Lords written question – answered at on 23 May 2011.
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many prosecutions have been made of qualified electricians who have issued certificates under Part P regulations, when they have not seen or supervised the work in question.
Any prosecution of a qualified electrician certifying electrical installation work under Part P of the Building Regulations which they had not seen or supervised would be a prosecution for fraud, not for a breach of the building regulations, and would need to be taken by a trading standards authority. The department does not collect information on this and is unaware of any such prosecutions.
