Proceeding contribution from Lord Gascoigne (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 18 December 2023. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Higher-Risk Buildings (Keeping and Provision of Information etc.) (England) Regulations 2023.


Higher-Risk Buildings (Keeping and Provision of Information etc.) (England) Regulations 2023

I am afraid that I will have to write to the noble Lord on that. I did clock it, but I do not have an answer in front of me. I will certainly ensure that he gets a response. I did write it down; I hope he will forgive me for not having an answer before me.

As I alluded to earlier, this has been a meaningful discussion with some good points. The noble Baroness, Lady Taylor, thanked the department; I know that officials will be listening—not just those that are present here, but others who will be watching it and reading Hansard. These debates and discussions do help to improve policy.

To conclude, the golden thread of information is at the core of the safe management of buildings. These draft regulations set out the information that those responsible for managing occupied higher-risk buildings must keep and share with others, including residents. Together, these measures support the creation of a new proportionate building safety regime that protects the safety of residents in high-rise buildings. Once again, I thank both noble Lords for their contributions today and the views they have expressed. I beg to move.
