Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, whether previous audit and performance evaluation data is considered by the Construction Industry Council Approved Inspectors Register when approving a building inspector licence renewal.

The Construction Industry Council Approved Inspector Register is required to carry out periodic audits of the general performance of approved inspectors including their compliance with relevant regulations and the Code of Conduct. When considering re-approval applications, this information, as well as the experience and qualifications of inspectors seeking re-approval, are considered.
