The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Regulations 2015 are through and came into force on the 1st October 2015. Please see Hansard http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld201516/ldhansrd/lhan43.pdf from page 1720 to the end.
We supported these regulations (because we support anything that will save lives) but they will only affect ‘354,000 Private Rented properties with solid fuel, or 8.6% of the total.’. However, we think the comments by the Lords, particularly those by Lord Hunt and Lord McKenzie are helpful as was the personal experience of one the friends of Earl Cathcart.
