A consultation on amending the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015 has been launched by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government
Social landlords would need to install at least one smoke alarm on each storey, and fit carbon monoxide alarms along with any fixed combustion appliance apart from gas cookers.
Both private and social landlords would be required to install a carbon monoxide alarm in any room used as living accommodation where a fixed combustion appliance other than a gas cooker is used.
The deadline for submissions is 11.45pm on 11 January 2021. See: bit.ly/3kF8o5o.
