answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2018 answer text <p>The ban on the use of combustible materials will apply to the external walls of all new buildings above 18 metres that contain flats. This is because the majority of fire related fatalities occur in ‘dwellings’ (76 per cent of fire related fatalities from 2010/11 to 2017/18). The ban will also apply to the external walls of new hospitals, residential care premises and student accommodation and dormitories in boarding schools over 18 metres following strong support for the ban to apply to these types of buildings.</p><p>The ban on the use of combustible materials is being focused on buildings where the risks are greatest. The external walls of high rise hotels, offices and other buildings outside the scope of the ban will still be required to adequately resist the spread of fire to meet the requirements of the Building Regulations.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 20/12/2018 12:09:10 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of Standard & Poor’s indication that it will downgrade half the housing associations it rates if the UK leaves the EU without a deal.
tabling member printed	Baroness Kennedy of Cradley
uin	HL12322
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2018 answer text <p>The Government’s policy remains to leave the EU with a deal.</p><p>Standard &amp; Poor’s (S&amp;P) has not said that it will automatically downgrade housing associations in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal. The sensitivity analysis it published on 3 December was based on its own simulation of a ‘no deal’ Brexit, but we expect that its actual ratings will depend on how housing associations are affected (and how they respond) in practice. It is important to note that, even in S&amp;P’s ‘no deal’ simulation, housing association ratings remain concentrated in its ‘A’ category.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 20/12/2018 12:40:36 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
