Recommendation
In the absence of PAS-79 guidance which was withdrawn in August 2021, it is imperative that the British Standards Institute publish its new standard as soon as possible. We urge the Government to report on its consultation on Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans at the earliest opportunity. (Paragraph 6) Protecting leaseholders from future costs
Government Response
Acknowledged
HM Government
Acknowledged
The development of any new PAS guidance is a matter for the British Standards Institution to consider and as such the Government is unable to comment on this. As Lord Greenhalgh stated at the Third Reading of the Building Safety Act in the House of Lords on 4 April, the Government will publish its response to the PEEPs consultation alongside the commencement of the Fire Safety Act 2021 in May 2022, as soon as practical after the pre-election period.
