answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2021 answer text <p>The Grenfell Tower fire occurred on 14 June 2017. In response to the concerns about building cladding and following Government advice the MOD surveyed the defence estate to establish if any MOD-owned sleeping accommodation blocks over six storeys were clad with Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) during July-August 2017. This found that MOD had no buildings above six storeys clad with ACM.</p><p> </p><p>In December 2018, the then MHCLG issued an updated Advice Note which meant that all buildings at a height in excess of six storeys with any external cladding and containing residential accommodation had to be assessed to ascertain the type of cladding used.</p><p> </p><p>All buildings on the Defence Estate were re-surveyed (surveys completed in July 2019), which identified 28 buildings (subsequently reduced to 27) which had external wall systems requiring further investigation.</p><p> </p><p>Work continues to confirm the remediation required, if necessary on the high rise buildings identified at HMNB Clyde.</p><p> </p><p>All currently occupied high-rise buildings on the defence estate identified as having combustible external wall systems have a current Fire Risk Assessment in place and remain legally compliant for continued occupation.</p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Jeremy Quin question first answered 08/11/2021 16:29:12 answering member 4507 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Quin
