Shame the don’t give a more detailed breakdown - like how many people have been injured tripping over extension leads which are obviously safer than a properly wired up extra socket.

It's the dodgy cash-in-hand sparks that are the problem - the exact same who will ignore Part P in the same way as they ignore/bend the regs at the moment. I'm just not convinced that a) the stats used by the government to justify Part P are actually relevant and that b) the people who are the real dangers will take any notice anyway. As it currently stands it is near impossible to get anyone certified to take on work like adding a socket as they are busy. If anything people will be more likely to employ the bloke from the pub for 30 quid...

This will hopefully force a more ersponsible attitude to wiring in domestic premises and hopefully replace the het it in , get it on, chap as possible.. Sparks are not here for that were supposed to be responsible and at least point out defects and were the defect are of a certain danger level not carry out the works until the installation is made safe. Keep sparky work for the sparks, yea we are here to make a living but were also here to make the public not worry about the cables in the wall.
