Following the Building Safety Act 2022, responsibility for the implementation of the Operational Standards Rules for building control authorities sits with the Building Safety Regulator in the Health and Safety Executive. The Building Safety Regulator has published the Operational Standards Rules as well as their monitoring arrangements in April 2023. These will be effective from Spring 2024, to coincide with wider changes to the regulation and oversight of the building control profession. The Department continues to work closely with the Building Safety Regulator, CICIAR and the wider sector to ensure a smooth implementation of the new oversight regime.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4652", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lee Rowley"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North East Derbyshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lee Rowley"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-06-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1642162/answer/previousversion/80670", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4652", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lee Rowley"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North East Derbyshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lee Rowley"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-06-13T10:58:06.507Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "211"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Levelling Up, Housing and Communities"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Levelling Up, Housing and Communities"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-06-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Buildings: Safety"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what steps his Department is taking to ensure an effective and rapid implementation of the Operational Standards Rules for building control authorities published by the Health and Safety Executives and commencing in May 2024.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4934", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Helen Morgan"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North Shropshire"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Helen Morgan"} ], "uin" : "188167"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1312441", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1312441/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

TfWM is due to receive £1.9 million of revenue funding to support local capacity building and behaviour change initiatives such as cycle hire and repair schemes.<\/p>

The Department will make a further announcement in due course about TfWM\u2019s capital funding allocation for 2021/22.<\/p>
