The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) has unofficially confirmed the timing of changes to the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (Construction Act 1996), to be introduced by Part 8 of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2010 (LDEDC Act 2009).
However, BIS has been unable to confirm when the results of its consultation on amendments to the Scheme for Construction Contracts (England and Wales) Regulations 1998 (SI 1998/649) or the final statutory instrument will be published.
