question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what estimate he has made of the cost of retrofitting sprinklers to all high-rise buildings.
tabling member constituency	Easington
tabling member printed	Grahame Morris
uin	265494
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
