Scottish Govt to regulate "electrician" description

Currently anyone can call themselves an electrician, without the need for any qualifications or competency.

The Scottish Government is gathering information and views on whether regulations should be introduced in relation to electricians. While the focus of the consultation is on domestic work carried out for individual consumers, it will also apply to commercial and industrial work.

Part P was written in a manner to clamp down on plumbers and electricians doing electrical work, that’s now been eased up on in England, but not Wales.

Far be it for me to suggest Scotland should look at England’s track record, but south of the border it’s been a waste of time and money trying to regulate who can do electrical work.

Do you think the original Part P that is still in force in Wales is better or worse than the current English version?
