answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/05/2019 answer text <p>The table below sets out parliamentary constituency areas with high-rise residential buildings and publicly-owned buildings that are yet to be remediated – these areas are grouped into bands. The bands used are; one to five buildings, six to ten buildings, 11 to 20 buildings, and more than 20 buildings. The buildings included all have Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding systems unlikely to meet Building Regulations and are either residential buildings over 18 metres tall or publicly-owned buildings.</p><p>As of 30 April there are 102 parliamentary constituencies in England where such buildings were identified, of which 84 constituencies have at least one such building yet to be remediated within their boundaries.</p><p>Constituencies with fewer than ten high-rise residential buildings (regardless of whether or not they have cladding) have been removed from the table below, as their inclusion could lead to the identification of one or more buildings with ACM cladding systems unlikely to meet Building Regulations in these areas – hence 70 constituencies are listed
