Sprinklers in new homes proposal
Posted in Fire Sprinkler Fabrication |

‘Welsh law’ to require builders to install sprinkler systems in all new homes in Wales has won the support of MPs after a request by an AM.

The Welsh Affairs Committee said the assembly should be given powers to require builders to install sprinklers.

It followed a request for the legislative competence order (LCO) from Vale of Clwyd AM, Ann Jones.

The move now opens the way for a draft order to be introduced in parliament, which is expected in the new year.

If approved, the powers would be devolved to the assembly, and new legislation could be drawn up over fire sprinklers by politicians in Cardiff Bay.

“This is the best Christmas present I could wish for,” said Ms Jones.
