As set out in the Written Statement of 20 June 2018, regulatory provisions, including relevant building regulations, are excluded from the Business Impact Target if certified by departments or regulators as relating to the safety of tenants, residents and occupants in buildings that stem from, or relate to, Government’s response to the Grenfell tragedy, reviews, inquiries or working groups.
