answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2019 answer text <p>The Government expects landlords to protect leaseholders, where possible, from any disruption caused by the removal and replacement of unsafe cladding and to communicate with them regularly during this process. That includes programming and sequencing their work, in consultation with residents, to ensure that people are not unduly exposed to the cold.</p><p>When the external wall of a building is renovated or replaced, the work must comply with the energy efficiency requirements of the Building Regulations 2010. Residents who have concerns about heating costs may wish to contact the Government-funded Energy Saving Advice Service (ESAS) for independent information about energy efficiency.</p><p>In the social sector, the Regulator of Social Housing requires that homes in the social housing sector meet the Decent Homes Standard, which includes having efficient heating and effective insulation. As social landlords have responsibility for the overall standards of their buildings, we would expect them to take action and engage with residents to ensure disruption is reduced whilst the works are completed as quickly and safely as possible. We would expect those who have concerns about their ability to do this to contact MHCLG or the Regulator of Social Housing.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 24/01/2019 16:48:07 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2019 answer text <p>All doors being placed on the UK market must meet the required standards they are advertised as meeting. Wherever the Government is made aware this is not the case we have taken action to withdraw the product from the market.</p><p>Following the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government’s (MHCLG) investigation into Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) composite fire doors, MHCLG took swift action to stop the production and distribution of this type of fire door. As a result, no new doors of this type were placed on the market, until evidence that they consistently meet the standard has been demonstrated. MHCLG also acted with industry to ensure that all GRP composite fire doors already on the market were withdrawn from sale.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 31/01/2019 14:20:23 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
