Never mind though. In letters from the minister responsible for all
of this via their MPs, several people asking about DIY electrical work
have been told that all is OK - they can submit a Building Notice at
the local authority. One small snag. Most local authorities know
nothing about this impending legislation, have not been funded to
handle it and are not professionally equipped. Not to worry, though
- if they squeak, they will have their budget capped.

Second small snag - LAs are likely to charge 100 quid upwards for processing notices.
