    Just discovered your channel- it's great! A suggestion for a video (if you haven't already): self certification by contractors in building. This is a trend in construction that looks set to become the universal standard in time with competent persons schemes all over the place (I work in roofing and its already a large and growing factor which is replacing the need for local building control to inspect every job). In any case, thank you for the concise and informative videos.

    From our understanding, The National Grid, must comply with these regulations when constructing or renovating buildings within its facilities, however we will need to do more research in order to give you a definitive answer.

    Can you please explain why you consider that " the buildings regulations are not themselves part of statutory law".

    In the United Kingdom, building regulations are statutory instruments. Statutory law and statutory instruments are both important elements of the legislative framework in places like the UK, but they serve different roles and are created through different processes. Statutory Law: This refers to laws that are enacted by a legislative body, such as Parliament. Statutory laws, also known as Acts of Parliament, are primary legislation. They typically outline broad legal principles and frameworks. For instance, the Building Act 1984 is a statutory law that provides the overarching legal authority for regulating building standards in the UK. Statutory Instruments: These are a type of secondary or delegated legislation. Statutory instruments are used to set detailed regulations under the framework established by a statutory law. They are usually made by an individual or a body under powers given to them by an Act of Parliament. Statutory instruments can be used to fill in more specific details, update regulations, or adapt to new situations without needing to pass a new Act of Parliament. For example, the specific building regulations that enforce parts of the Building Act 1984 are statutory instruments.

    @@Metroun Statutory Instruments are just as much a part of the law of the land as an Act of Parliament. The Courts can question whether a Minister, when issuing an SI, is using a power he or she has actually been given by the parent Act but cannot question the validity of the Statutory Instrument for any other reason.
