answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2017 answer text <p>The Gas Safety (Installations and Use) Regulations 1998 require landlords to ensure that each gas appliance and flue in a property provided for tenants’ use is checked to ensure it is operating safely by a Gas Safe registered engineer within 12 months of being installed and at intervals of not more than 12 months since it was last checked. Such checks must be done on each gas appliance – not just a representative sample.</p><p> </p><p>A recent consultation by the Health and Safety Executive on these Regulations involved an assessment of the adequacy of landlords’ gas safety checks, including with respect to carbon monoxide. This assessment and other evidence confirmed that the regulatory requirements for these checks are sufficient to ensure safety.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 19/07/2017 09:42:49 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
