The Sustainable and Secure Buildings Act 2004 (c. 22) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

The next task is to make quite sure the new Act doesn't just sit on a shelf getting dusty, but that the necessary regulations come forward quickly, and that the first report to Parliament demonstrates real progress being made."^[3]
