question text	Her Majesty's Government what procedures and actions are in place to check the cladding of private multi-storey residential buildings and public buildings.
tabling member printed	Lord Storey
uin	HL237
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. Testing is being undertaken by the Building Research Establishment where Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding is identified. If the screening tests indicate that such cladding would not meet the limited combustibility requirements of the current Building Regulations guidance, local authorities and housing associations, in conjunction with the fire and rescue service, will determine the best course of action, communicating closely with residents. 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
