answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2019 answer text <p>Sprinkler systems are already required through building regulations for high rise buildings over 30 metres. Our view remains that the retrofitting of sprinklers will not always be the most effective fire safety measure in existing residential buildings, but it should be for building owners to assess the risks based on the building design and take action, in consultation with residents, if necessary. I am aware that a number of local authorities are either taking, or considering taking, action on the retrofitting of sprinklers. Our proposals for a safety case review regime for existing buildings should also help owners and residents determine the most appropriate fire safety measures going forward. We are also focused on the position for new build, where it is easier to incorporate sprinkler systems from the outset. Our call for evidence on the technical review of fire safety guidance closed on 18 March, and that included questions on sprinkler provision, where the responses are being analysed.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 25/06/2019 15:57:26 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2019 answer text <p>The Department does not hold comprehensive data on planned completion dates for the remediation of ACM (Aluminium Composite Material) buildings. The Government has provided £600 million funding to remove unsafe ACM cladding from high rise residential buildings in the social and private sector. This will remove the biggest blocker to progress on remediation in these buildings. However, it is important to recognise remediation work cannot be done overnight, and it must be done properly. The time to complete work varies considerably depending on the factors such as structure, extent of cladding, and existing fire safety systems. For many buildings this is a complex job involving major construction work. We want buildings to be remediated as quickly as possible and we will be closely monitoring the work as it progresses.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 20/06/2019 14:46:38 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
