Are there any proposals to introduce certification systems in areas where there are high radon levels? I know the incidence of it varies regionally and it is not in every area. Is there any proposal by the Department to implement a certification system, similar to the BER certificates, to reassure people purchasing or renting houses that radon levels are being properly controlled in those houses. I am aware of the radon barrier and all of that.
