Electrical certification is a more complex subject. Most existing installations don't pass current standards but are not dangerous. If you wanted to increase GDP you could insist that all installations need to meet current standards, then you would probably need to train 1 in 5 of the population to be electricians!
I was speaking to my dad who loves an argument even more than me about this last night and he said the same. I argued that it's not worth my time, but he highlighted if they decide to do the same for electrical safety certificates then it's not £50 it's £250, so I'm going to investigate.
