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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what representations other than from the National Housebuilding Council he has received on section 6 of Approved Document M of the Building Regulations.

As part of the Housing Standards Review, the Department issued a consultation on changes to Approved Document M in September 2014. While no change is proposed to the technical requirements of section 6, text has been clarified and reformatted. Over 500 responses were received to the consultation and a number of these made comments relating to this part of Approved Document M. We will publish a summary of responses to the consultation in due course.
