A detailed explanation of the screening tests is set out in this note published in June 2017. <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/explanatory-note-on-safety-checks-and-testing" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/explanatory-note-on-safety-checks-and-testing</a>.</p><p>The non-Aluminuim Composite Materials (ACM) samples were catalogued but it is not possible given their size and condition to reliably identify and classify each sample. These samples would not provide reliable or representative indication of the materials currently present on the existing building stock, this is because only those buildings with ACM cladding systems were asked to submit samples.</p><p>I refer also to my answer of 24 January to question UIN 210599.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 27/03/2019 12:21:55 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse previous answer version 109900 answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
