Fire Safety Bill

Moved by

Baroness Neville-Rolfe

2: Clause 2, page 2, line 7, at end insert—

“( ) Regulations under subsection (1) may not amend the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 to apply the Order to domestic premises in buildings under five storeys in height.”

Member’s explanatory statement

This is a probing amendment to enable the House to discuss fire safety measures that apply to low-rise domestic buildings, which have a lesser fire risk, and how the powers under Clause 2 may be used to implement Grenfell inquiry recommendations.
