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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, if his Department will publish a timeline for the creation of the proposed Building Safety Regulator.

The Building Safety Regulator was established in shadow form in the Health and Safety Executive in January 2020, to assist the Government to develop the reforms that resulted in the Building Safety Act 2022, and to prepare itself, and the sector, for the new regulatory regime. We published a transition timeline with the Building Safety Bill and will shortly be updating this, following on from the Bill's receipt of Royal Assent on 28 April 2022.
