	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2017 answer text <p>Testing is underway for social housing providers, private landlords and across the public sector in relation to cladding on tower blocks over 18 metres in height.

Where we have results for specific areas, and tenants have been informed of the action to be taken, then further details are being released publicly.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 21/07/2017 09:33:01 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
