answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2019 answer text <p>Government intervention to provide £600 million funding for the removal on unsafe Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding on high-rise (over 18 metres) buildings is wholly exceptional. It is based on the unparalleled fire risk ACM poses, very real public safety concerns and the abject failure of many building owners to do the right thing by their residents.</p><p> </p><p>We are focusing on buildings over 18 metres as they are subject to tougher buildings restrictions, as set out in Approved Document B, including restrictions on the types of material that can be used on external wall systems. The Department is currently reviewing Approved Document B, and this guidance is currently out for consultation.</p><p> </p><p>Government intervention does not remove responsibility for overall building safety from the building owner and if fire safety risks are uncovered, they must remedy them.</p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 29/10/2019 17:53:30 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2019 answer text <p>Yes, the second paragraph from the executive summary states the following:</p><p><em>“This Final work stream report describes the findings of the research for Work stream 5 – Sprinkler provisions. The guidance in Approved Document B (AD B) currently provides that most buildings over 30 m tall should have sprinkler protection with the exception of purpose groups: 2(a) – residential (institutional), 2(b) – residential (other) and 7(b) – (car parks). The principal aim of this work stream was to produce robust evidence and data to explore the options for fire sprinklers in tall buildings above 30 m not currently requiring sprinklers.”</em></p><p>Please note that, since July the Department has published a consultation which outlines the government’s intention to amend Approved Document B to reduce the trigger height at which sprinkler systems would be required in new high-rise blocks of flats and asks for views on the trigger height options. The consultation is available at the following and closes on 28 November 2019: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fconsultations%2Fsprinklers-and-other-fire-safety-measures-in-new-high-rise-blocks-of-flats&amp;data=02%7C01%7CCharles-Elie.Romeyer%40communities.gov.uk%7Ca21e8ed02b9048db059508d7570d2df7%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C637073586419029098&amp;sdata=oAuWwc%2Fi61MD3AIU2WrrjkCxOSfkJ%2FZOPzt8xt7hTOU%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/sprinklers-and-other-fire-safety-measures-in-new-high-rise-blocks-of-flats.</a></p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 29/10/2019 17:17:23 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
