First Delegated Legislation Committee: The draft Building Safety (Responsible Actors Scheme and Prohibitions) (Amendment) Regulations 2026

Parliamentary debate

This is a technical amendment to building safety regulations that affects the Responsible Actors Scheme, which governs who can work on higher-risk buildings. The regulations modify rules about which organisations and individuals are permitted to take on safety responsibilities in new residential construction.

This affects the building industry, construction firms, and property developers across the UK. The changes determine eligibility criteria for companies managing safety on high-rise residential projects, impacting how buildings are regulated, who can operate in the sector, and ultimately the safety and timely delivery of new housing.
