(asked on 11th June 2020) - View Source

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to require statutory inspections of boilers and pressure vessels to be conducted by inspectors who they (1) appoint, and (2) fund.


This question was answered on 25th June 2020

Under the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 the users and owners of boilers and pressure vessels have a statutory duty to have them examined by a competent person at periods specified in a written scheme of examination.

Her Majesty’s Government has no plans to appoint inspectors or fund inspections to deliver these statutory inspections.
