It has been 16 years since the technical guidance documents underpinning Part B of our Building Control Regulations dealing with fire safety were drafted. I understand there is currently public consultation on this matter. In fact, our committee is hoping to hold a session on it after the consultation period closes. Will the Minister of State update us on the work of his Department and give a commitment that not only will the consultation conclude this year but that new technical guidance documents will be completed and published this year in the interests of fire safety for the users of buildings?
