I cant see it happening, governments look to increase control to push

both of which there would be in this case.

Need a more well thought through petition.


What is happening, with the Building Regulations, is that Local/Central
Government is moving towards a system of 'self-certification'. In doing
so, it's shifting the responsibility for compliance-checking away from
'over-stretched' Council's.

Just my twopenny worth


Who ends up certifying, householder or a professional they engage? The
game is to get people to give as much money to the wealthier sectors of
society as poss, and since this also lines up with safety issues in
this case, both real and imagined, this approach fits normal government
practice like a glove.
