So will CDM be stopped?

Hold up. You may have seen in the press that David Cameron, the Conservative Party leader, did his best to get the new Construction Design and Management Regulations 2007 (see The next step). annulled before they became law. He failed - they came into force as planned on April 6, 2007. However, it is almost certain that the regulations will be debated in Parliament at some point soon.

Follow the new rules. Until you hear or read otherwise, you should follow the new regulations as opposed to the old ones. If further debate means they have to be changed, this won’t happen overnight.
