I have a further question, with the indulgence of the Chair.

Do design manuals exist? Are they available? Is there good practice? The Department always tells us it is very busy and has lots of things to do. As approved housing bodies, organisations for persons with disabilities are doing some of this. How difficult would it be to put these design standards into the manual as part of the review? If a review of Part M was published at the same time as revision of the design manual for quality homes it would be helpful.
