<p>We are working to bring into force regulations on mandatory electrical safety checks
in the private rented sector as soon as possible, subject to parliamentary approval
and timetable. As outlined in the Government response to the consultation on Electrical
Safety in the Private Rented Sector, published on 29 January 2019, we are now working
with industry to produce guidance for landlords setting out the skills and qualifications
relevant to determining competence of those carrying out electrical inspections. We
have also been working with local authorities in England to develop the range of sanctions
for non-compliance with the upcoming regulations.</p>
