Response — verbatim from government
●Health and Safety Executive
The Government agrees with Lord Gill that effective communication is vitally important to ensuring the continuing safety of small bulk LPG installations. There have been significant efforts between HSE and UKLPG to establish strong communication channels including regular meetings between senior representatives and working groups to address specific issues. Communication between these parties has already significantly increased. (Cm. 7849, paras 43-44)

Each entry above links to a primary source — gov.uk written statement, consultation response document, or inspection report. The Index does not characterise government intent; it tracks what has been published.
How this page is built
Source and Response are verbatim from primary documents. The Evidence trail records published activity since — written statements, consultation outcomes, inspection findings, parliamentary references. The Index does not paraphrase or characterise intent; it tracks what has been published. Where the evidence is the absence of action (a missed deadline, a slipped timetable), that absence is documented from primary sources rather than inferred.
This recommendation's data is verified periodically against primary sources. The Index is monitored for staleness weekly.
