answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2020 answer text <p>On 29 November 2018, the Government introduced a ban of combustible materials in the external wall of buildings including blocks of flats, student accommodation and care homes with a storey more than 18 metres in height. The ban requires that all materials which become part of an external wall or specified attachment achieve European Class A2-s1, d0 or Class A1, other than those covered by exemptions. There are currently no timber cladding panels able to achieve this performance.</p><p>As stated in the explanatory memorandum the Department intends to review the ban annually through monitoring arrangements and advice from bodies such as Building Regulations Advisory Committee for England. <br> <br>The Department is currently in the process of reviewing the scope of the ban and will report in due course.</p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 07/01/2020 14:04:11 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2019 answer text <p>The screening programme set up after the Grenfell fire tragedy was focussed on identifying and the types of aluminium composite materials received. 1,421 samples of other materials were also submitted but these were not suitable for the screening tests. A detailed explanation of the screening tests is set out in this note published in June 2017. <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/explanatory-note-on-safety-checks-and-testing" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/explanatory-note-on-safety-checks-and-testing</a>.</p><p>The non-Aluminuim Composite Materials (ACM) samples were catalogued but it is not possible given their size and condition to reliably identify and classify each sample. These samples would not provide reliable or representative indication of the materials currently present on the existing building stock, this is because only those buildings with ACM cladding systems were asked to submit samples.</p><p>I refer also to my answer of 24 January to question UIN 210599.</p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 29/10/2019 18:10:13 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey previous answer version 2250 answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
