Question
To ask the Scottish Executive how it proposes to respond to the determination issued by the sheriff in the fatal accident inquiry into the tragic circumstances of the death of 21-month-old Ben McCreath.
Answer
The Scottish Government is commencing a review of this specific area of the building regulations in line with the sheriff''s recommendation. This review will consider if the restriction on gap dimensions within protective barriers should be extended to all buildings.
We will start the review process immediately and intend to issue a public consultation early in 2011.
