Minister Paul Scully congratulated Stephanie Peacock on raising awareness and acknowledged that even one death from carbon monoxide poisoning is too many. He highlighted the cross-Whitehall group under Health and Safety Executive chairmanship, which addresses CO issues. He mentioned robust legislation for gas appliance safety, enforcement powers given to relevant authorities in 2018, and building regulations requiring CO alarms with solid fuel appliances in private rentals. The Government consulted on proposals to extend these requirements to oil and gas heating installations and social housing. Scully re-emphasised the importance of regular servicing by qualified engineers and fitting carbon monoxide alarms as additional precautions. He noted the challenges distinguishing symptoms from those of flu-like illnesses, including CO poisoning during the pandemic. He also highlighted initiatives such as Gas Safety Week and Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week to raise public awareness year-round.
