Private Rented Housing: Natural Gas
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what discussions has he had with the Health and Safety Executive on the efficacy of landlords' gas safety checks being conducted without equipment to test for carbon monoxide.
- Answer
-
The Health and Safety Executive is part of a Cross Government Group including the Department for Communities and Local Government, which promotes a joined up approach across Government on carbon monoxide safety policy.
The Health and Safety Executive’s Approved Code of Practice (L56) sets out the minimum requirements for a gas safety check. This focuses on ensuring the appliance burns properly, that there is adequate ventilation and the effectiveness of the flue associated with the appliance rather than specifying the use of equipment to test for carbon monoxide.
