Hasn't the number of deaths from unsafe domestic installations gone up
since Prat P came in?

Yes, quite dramatically according to a Parliamentary answer.
It had been steadily falling for decades prior to that.

As a comparison, Australia and New Zealand had even more
strict regulations on wiring work. New Zealand scrapped its,
and has seen such incidents drop very significantly, whereas
Australia hasn't. This again backs up what I said during the
Part P consultation that the deaths are largely due to not
doing anything to wiring installations which really need work
doing on them, and not as claimed (but unsubstantiated) by
the Part P proposals due to DIY and unqualified tradesmen.
Part P inevitably encourages not doing anything, which is
the dangerous route.
