Default fire regs for loft conversion

Some advice please
A mate of mine is in the middle of a loft conversion to a
house.
The council have now insisted he replace all his Pine
doors throughout the house with Firedoors
Is that right?

I think the rules have changed recently.(April 07)
It used to be fire doors in the conversion, a lobby area and low level
escape windows were all that was needed.


I think that's all changed now and you need fire doors not only to the
conversion
but also to any rooms leading from the staircase in the loft.
But you no longer need the low level windows to jump into the firemans
hand from.

Can anyone confirm this is correct?
