One cannot apply the same building regulations for new buildings to retrofit buildings. We have had this discussion here already. Thirty-one local authorities are interpreting fire safety regulations when it comes to retrofitting of new buildings. We need technical guidance documents relating to fire safety, ventilation and disability access. To pass this today is premature without those technical documents before us.
