<p>We are currently collecting information from all social housing providers in relation
to cladding on tower blocks. Testing is being undertaken by the Building Research
Establishment where Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding is identified. We
have alerted owners, landlords and managers of private sector residential blocks to
the issue and have made the testing facility available to them.</p><p>Where testing
of ACM cladding reveals concerns, the priority in the first instance is to work with
the relevant local authority and the fire and rescue service to determine the most
appropriate course of action. Where we have results for specific areas, and tenants
have been informed of the action to be taken, then further details will be released
publicly.</p>
