Today the postie delivered a leaflet from a private company about installing smoke detectors and suchlike due to a change in the law. Is this a hoax? No, the Scottish Government is indeed changing the law with a deadline of February next year.

The Scottish Government today published a briefing on what is required of all householders: https://www.gov.scot/publications/fire-and-smoke-alarms-in-scottish-homes/

If there has been recent publicity by the government then I have missed it!
