As an opposite to start to correct this problem, I suggest that “Inspectors” should now have to have Honours Degrees and be Chartered members of the IET, and possibly PhDs in electrical engineering of course, as well. At least even the least qualified of them will have some small ability to think slightly, and possibly to spell too as this is a requirement to write a thesis!    

Hmm. Now we need to revisit the cost benefit analysis to see if any inspection at all is worthwhile,  or at least to look at the effect of extending  the inspection interval, perhaps to 20 or 50 years, as you will be looking at £100 plus per hour. 

Nation wide, it may be better for the overall economy not to inspect 10 million properties per year, and to accept a few tens of avoidable fatalities a year at an average cost of perhaps a million pounds each.

(who would not quite meet that set of criteria, not being IET member ?. But you don't want folk like me inspecting, you get a small book not a report. )
