I expect we are there now. The scope of work that is expected of
building control has grown so fast that there seems little chance of
them keeping on top of it all, and more importantly, of even the
builders / tradesmen / diy folk even remaining aware of what is actually
required. How many "ordinary people" have heard about Part P or L for
example?

And the April they are adding Part G and F the precise details I am not
yet aware of.

It has been abundantly obvious to me and others (on a Part-P course this
week) that Part Prescot has nothing to do with safety but everything to do
with shutting down small businesses (making the environment uneconomic for
them to operate in).

********. Get your sycophantic mind right. It is to close down cowboy
operators. You have been listening to that clown Boris Johnson.

If that's the case it shows just how clueless the authorities are. How many cowboys take any notice
of regulations... all they are doing is pushing the real cowboys further underground, and
effectively making cowboys out of the smaller operators that do a perfectly good job.
