	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2019 answer text <p>We are aware of one BS 8414 test carried out in the UK in 2014 on High Pressure Laminate (HPL) panels in combination with a combustible insulation material. This test was commissioned by a private company and the Department only became aware of the test in November 2018. We understand that the arrangement tested failed to meet the criteria for passing the test. The Department’s Advice Note 14, first issued in December 2017 and reissued in December 2018, made clear that a wall system which did not contain materials of limited combustibility would only meet the requirements of Building Regulations’ guidance if it had passed a BS 8414 test. The Department has commissioned its own BS 8414 test of an HPL panel with non-combustible insulation as well as carrying out a programme to research the performance in a fire of non-aluminium composite materials, including HPL.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 17/06/2019 16:19:58 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse previous answer version 122715 answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

Following the announcement of the fund many of these have agreed to maintain their commitment. The owners or developers who have made these commitments include Taylor Wimpey, Legal and General, Mace Group, Lendlease, Barratt Developments and Aberdeen Standard Investments. We are continuing to engage with other buildings owners to secure further commitments to fund remediation without accessing the Government’s remediation fund.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 05/06/2019 11:24:11 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse previous answer version 120611 answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2019 answer text <p>Estimates of the numbers of homes built on flood plains can be obtained by comparing the percentage of new residential addresses created that were in National Flood Zone 3 with the new build completion statistics.

The percentage of new residential addresses created in 2017-18 that were in National Flood Zone 3 is due to be published in an updated version of Table P320 on 31 May</p><p><br> All local planning authorities are expected to follow the strict tests set out in national planning policy and guidance, which includes steering development away from high risk flood areas. Where development in flood risk areas is considered, national planning policy is clear that it should be safe, resilient and not increase flood risk anywhere. We have been clear that new housing is not appropriate and should not be allowed in a functional floodplain, where water has to flow or be stored in times of flood.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 15/05/2019 16:42:37 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse previous answer version 117985 answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
