Signed it also , But will it make any difference ? I think not !! Thought it was tried a few years back and the DIY sheds put a stop to it claiming it would interfere with sales !!

Nothing ventured nothing gained I'd say. What have we got loose! But we could potentially have lots to gain.

Thanks everyone, the letter to the MP has gone, we are now waiting for them to call for a meeting. I think at this stage we should gather a list of our concerns, specifically with the Regs and it just so happens that a set of proposed changes are under consultation (ACOP). Our forum aims to make a contribution on behalf 90+ members. I have already spoken with HSE on this matter. We need to read the proposed ACOP and go over it with a fine-tooth comb. Any changes we propose will fall in here, as well as the primary legislation of course. We have already picked up an issue where the text in the proposed ACOP reads as though you do not need to be Gas Safe Registered to work on a friends gas appliance, so long as you have a valid ACS certificate!

Is it worth putting stuff up on Facebook. There are various gas groups on there. Might help to gain more signitures.

It's s very tragic incident but it is looking as though diy gas work could very well have taken place.

If ever there was an example to reinforce the argument for the reformation of Gas Safety in the UK, this is it!
