Most of the Approved Documents follow England except the additional requirement for sprinklers in Approved Document B. • If a subject crops up time and time again, we will look at it. Question 3: AG- how do you review? Answer: BSTM - • The Building Regulations Advisory Committee (BRAC) will advise Welsh ministers. • Welsh ministers will advise what the building control technical working group are to review based on BRAC recommendations and resources (which is very limited as it is only a small team). • Note: CB was asked who made up the building control technical working group but was reluctant to provide a list of attendees.

To substantiate this, several attempts was made by this report author to Interview Phil Jones – Chair of the Welsh Government working Group- but the interview was cancelled on several occasions. A further interview was requested in January but to date no reply has been received (Appendix F is left for open for the response.) Question 4: AG- Who do you consult? Answer: BSTM - • There is a public consultation for 12 weeks including with RICS, CIOB etc
