Question
To ask the Scottish Government what changes have made to fire regulations for buildings such as Cameron House since the fire in 2017.
Answer
Part 3 of the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005, as amended, along with the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, apply to “relevant premises”, which includes hotels, such as Cameron House. There have been no changes made to these regulations since the Cameron House fire in 2017.
Police Scotland, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and the Health & Safety Executive are conducting investigations under the direction of a senior advocate depute. The Scottish Government and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service will review the outcomes of the investigation once it is complete and consider what action, if any, is needed at that time.
