Lexis®Library update: According to the announcement, the changes to Annex C include proposals by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) that Annex C should be consolidated into common categories to limit repetition, and proposals by the CPRC that this consolidation is done in a table. The consultation will close on 30 January 2023.

The consultation document is accessible here.
