The government accepts this recommendation in principle. The single regulator will deliver the functions specified in the report with two exceptions. We do not believe it is appropriate for the single regulator to undertake testing and certification of construction products, or issue certificates of compliance, as this would create a new conflict of interest within the regulator. Instead, we will strengthen oversight of Conformity Assessment Bodies through reforms to the construction products regime. Implementation will start immediately, beginning with work to support the existing regulatory regime as the foundation to moving towards greater consolidation. We are also publishing a construction products green paper alongside this response which sets out our proposals for reform of the construction products regulatory regime and will inform the implementation of this recommendation. We will publish a Regulatory Reform Prospectus and consultation on the design of the single regulator later this year before bringing forward the necessary legislation to establish it later in the Parliament. We will go further than the Inquiry's recommendation by consulting on strengthening the investigation of serious building safety incidents.
