Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 December 2025

Debate

Building Safety Regulator (Establishment of New Body and Transfer of Functions etc.) Regulations 2026

Contribution

I turn to the excellent report mentioned by the noble Lord, Lord Young: The Building Safety Regulator: Building a Better Regulator. I will try not to repeat all of the comments made, nor add too many to them, but I note that Philip White, the chief inspector of buildings at the building safety regulator, told the committee that creating a new body would create “disruption”. I congratulate Andy Roe on his peerage; he also said that the move “comes with risk”. I would appreciate it if the Minister could assure noble Lords that undue disruption will be avoided and that decision-making will continue to be sped up.
