The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) has published draft regulations to move the functions of the Building Safety Regulator out of the Health and Safety Executive, into an executive non-departmental public body sponsored by MHCLG.

APS deputy chief executive Sofie Hooper has expressed her hope that the new move towards the single regulator will be adequately resourced, following widespread criticism of the extensive delays at Gateway 2.

A new board of the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) is taking on the functions of the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) as part of a major revamp.
