A new board of the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) is taking on the functions of the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) as part of a major revamp announced by the government this morning (30 June).

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) has awarded a £4.5m contract to a Cheshire-based consultancy to help develop building policy across government.

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) is to be renamed the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC), after Michael Gove’s appointment as secretary of state in a cabinet reshuffle.

The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) has launched a survey to gauge members’ views on the proposed Building Safety Levy.
