Paragraph 17 Paragraphs 87, 88 Background
The establishment of the new Building Advisory Committee has resulted in the abolition of the Building Regulations Advisory Committee for England. In line with this, provisions within the Building Act 1984, Parliamentary Commissioner Act 1967 and Freedom of Information Act 2000 which make reference to BRAC are removed by these paragraphs.
	BRAC was subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 in its own right. This paragraph repeals the reference to BRAC in Part VI of Schedule 1 to the Freedom of Information Act 2000. BRAC was also subject to oversight from the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration, under the Parliamentary Commissioner Act 1967. This paragraph repeals the reference to BRAC in Schedule 2 to that Act.
	As the Building Advisory Committee is part of the Health and Safety Executive, it will be subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 as part of the Health and Safety Executive rather than independently (the Health and Safety Executive appears in Part VI of Schedule 1 to the Freedom of Information Act 2000). The Building Advisory Committee will also be subject to the Parliamentary Commissioner Act 1967 as part of the Health and Safety Executive rather than independently (the Health and Safety Executive appears in Schedule 2 to the Parliamentary Commissioner Act 1967).
