●Health and Safety Executive
We accept Lord Gill's recommendation that HSE should, in consultation with UKLPG, prepare practical advice for LPG users regarding the fulfilment of their statutory duties. Improved access to practical advice can contribute significantly to improving compliance with existing obligations. HSE has been working with UKLPG to develop a web-based source for LPG users on meeting their obligations. (Cm. 7849, para 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.
