Home Office written question – answered at on 23 May 2024.
Lord Jackson of Peterborough
Conservative
To ask His Majesty's Government when they next plan to review the operation and effect of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022.
Lord Sharpe of Epsom
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department
Regulation 12 in the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 requires the Secretary of State to carry out a review of the operation and effect of the regulations at intervals of no more than five years. The exact timing of the first review has yet to be determined, but we will allow sufficient time for the regulations to become fully established before doing so.
Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
