Welsh Environment Minister John Griffiths has announced that Professor Phillip Jones will chair the first Wales-only Building Regulations Advisory Committee.
This is being established now building regulations are being devolved to the administration with effect from 31 December 2011.
The new committee will advise Welsh ministers on building regulations policy and how best to exercise their new powers, including how to deliver the new target which calls for all new housing in Wales to be 55 per cent more energy efficient.
