Thanks for drawing attention to this, it has been expected for a
while. I notice the link at the bottom of the page to the DTLR web
site doesn't work.

Something that draws my attention:

"4. Each year an average of 30 people die and about 1150 are seriously
injured in accidents involving defective fixed electrical
installations in the home, including fires caused by such
installations."

How many lives might be saved by spending an equivalent amount of
money on things like smoking or car vehicle accidents?

Besides which, I reckon that probably 90%+ of the fatalities occur
from work carried out by the DIYer rather than the tradesman, and I
don't somehow see Joe Public taking the slightest bit of notice.
