Recommendation
We recommend that clause 8 be amended to provide that the regulator must direct someone else to operate the system for the giving of building safety information and cannot itself operate that system.

53. We agree that there are strong arguments for ensuring the independence of the system for giving building safety information to relevant persons. This will help to ensure that relevant persons can have confidence in that system. 54. Having reflected on the Committee’s recommendation and the broader arguments for independence, we agree that it would be appropriate to make provision in the Bill for the Regulator to delegate the function of operating the system for the giving of building safety information. We are therefore minded to amend clause 8 to provide that the Regulator must direct someone else to operate the system for the giving of building safety information and cannot itself operate that system. 55. Government is still considering how the system for the giving of building safety information should operate and what factors the Building Safety Regulator should be required to consider when deciding who to direct to operate that system. We will publish further details of our intended approach in due course.
