Default Smoke alarms, approx fitting costs

That is the whole problem with legislation today though. for example its
been illegal for the NHS to refuse reasonable alternative format
communication with blind patients, but they still send printed paper to a
good70 percent of those who have asked. No policing means no enforcement
means no incentive to spend the money to comply.

As they have to be interlinked do they also have to be mains powered?


I dont know, I am only asking as I am writing to my MP asking how he
expects those that can ill afford to pay for the installation.


If battery operated how is the Scottish Parliament going to ensure that
the majority of these alarms will not be useless after a few years when
those who cannot be bothered at present to fit them will not be bothered
to replace the batteries?

How is the Scottish Parliament going to police this policy?
