Why do you suppose with have massively lower electricity related injury

Correct. The uk also generally fails to repeal requirements that have turned out to not be required.

If you think all BR must be followed in order to have a safe effective house

erm... something about lighting earths?

The requirement for 9.5mm clearance from plug pin to plug outer edge is another, albeit from a different BS. It made good sense when pins were unsleeved, now it's redundant.
