This has resulted in some tenants feeling insecure in their properties, knowing that they could be asked to leave when the fixed-term has ended without being given an explanation.</p><p>The Government does not feel it is fair that people can be asked to leave a property without being given a valid reason and so it has committed to removing section 21 of the Housing Act 1988.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 24/07/2019 16:35:04 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2020 answer text <p>Building Regulations set standards for the design and construction of new homes and the primary responsibility for compliance with these requirements rests with the person carrying out the building work, such as the developer or builder. The Building Act 1984 provides local authorities with a general duty to enforce compliance with building regulations and formal enforcement powers for dealing with breaches of the Building Regulations.</p><p>The Government agreed with the recommendations in Dame Judith Hackitt’s independent review of the building regulations and fire safety system and is committed to putting stronger accountability at the heart of a more effective system. As part of our reforms to building safety, we are establishing a new Building Safety Regulator which will provide enhanced oversight of the building safety regulatory system - driving competence amongst professions and trades working on buildings, as well as leading oversight of the tougher regime for high risk buildings.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 19/02/2020 11:15:43 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall
