Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 9 April 2019 to Question 240560 on Buildings: Insulation, whether Building Control Technical Guidance Note 18 published in 2014 and revised in 2015 has the same legal status as Approved Document Part B Volume 2 2013 under Section 6 of the Building Act 1984.
Building Control Technical Guidance Note 18, published in 2014 and revised in 2015, was produced by the Building Control Alliance (BCA). The BCA is not a body designated by the Secretary of State for the purposes of section 6 of the Building Act 1984 nor was the document approved by him. BCA technical guidance notes are intended to provide information, promote good practice and encourage consistency of interpretation.
