To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant
to the Answer of 23 April to Question 242927, how the Government is ensuring the exclusion
of regulatory provisions from the Business Impact Target as relating to the safety
of tenants, residents and occupants in buildings that stem from, or relate to, Government’s
response to the Grenfell tragedy, reviews, inquiries or working groups; which regulatory
objects and subjects have been excluded in this way; and which units are responsible
for ensuring this exclusion.
<p>As set out in the Written Statement of 20 June 2018, departments and regulators
are legally responsible for certifying if their regulatory provisions are covered
by the Business Impact Target exemption relating to the safety of tenants, residents
and occupants in buildings that stem from, or relate to, Government’s response to
the Grenfell tragedy, reviews, inquiries or working groups. Any measures which have
been certified by the individual departments or regulators under the Grenfell exclusion
are listed in the Better Regulation annual report. The 2018/19 annual report will
be published this summer.</p>
