- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, with reference to Part One of the National Disability Strategy, what recent progress his Department has made in commissioning new research to develop the statutory guidance on meeting Building Regulations, covering access to and use of buildings.
- Answer
-
In June 2021 we commissioned research on the prevalence and demographics of impairment in England and ergonomic requirements and experiences of disabled people. Work is underway to develop robust data and evidence to help government consider what potential changes can be made to statutory guidance covering access to and use of buildings. The research work is due to complete in 2022.
