Advice as from 5th March, the inspection and enforcement of fire safety legislation within England & Wales will remain with the Crown Property Inspection Group (which may be rebranded with a different title) under the overall remit of the Chief Fire & Rescue Advisors Unit (the replacement for HM Fire Inspectorate).
In Scotland there is no change as yet. HM Fire Inspectorate will still be the enforcing inspectors
