This call for evidence identified topics which were candidates for inclusion in the review of Approved Document B (Fire Safety). One of the topics was means of escape in blocks of flats, including the stay-put approach. The call for evidence closed on 15 March 2019 and the Department is in the process of reviewing the evidence provided.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 15/07/2019 15:55:01 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
