Building Regulations: Discussion
4:00 pm
Mr. Aidan O'Connor:
At a departmental level we are still engaging with HomeBond, if that is the question. We are trying to get traction with HomeBond, the Construction Industry Federation, the quarries, the insurance people and the banks. Many people have withdrawn from the fray, HomeBond being the most obvious and explicit party. Insurance companies have withdrawn insurance for people who ended up having pyrite. Where do they stand?
