How many people per annum are killed arising from wrongly installed
electrical wiring?

In the year before this legislation was passed it was 2 - but one of
those was an MPs daughter IIRC

We have become an obsessively risk averse society.

Ladders are far more dangerous - lets ban climbing ladders unless you
have been certified.

Those are very fair points, but I think there's a difference between
killing yourself and killing others. No problem with allowing people who
should know better to do daft things and injure themselves, but I think
we should try our best to stop people doing things that might injure
other people.
