answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2019 answer text <p>As an independent regulatory body, Ofcom’s duties and powers are set out by Parliament in legislation. This does not include a definition of extremism but sets Ofcom a wider duty to protect the public from harmful and offensive material, and directs Ofcom to set content standards, through a code, for television and radio. Ofcom’s Broadcasting Code sets out standards around harmful and offensive broadcast material; incitement of crime, disorder, hatred or abuse; and responsible religious programming.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 15/03/2019 16:09:20 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 5 March 2019 to Question 227110 on Buildings: Insulation, when the BS 8414 test will take place; and whether combustible insulation behind that cladding will be tested.
tabling member constituency	Croydon North
tabling member printed	Mr Steve Reed
uin	229147
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2019 answer text <p>The date for the test will be dependent on the availability of test rigs. It is proposed that the test should be carried out with an HPL panel and stone wool insulation. The advice of the Department’s Independent Expert Advisory Panel, set out in a Departmental advice note to building owners issued in December 2017 and revised in December 2018, is clear that combustible insulation or cladding presents a risk of fire spread on existing high rise buildings unless installed as part of a system that has passed the BS 8414 test. Their advice to building owners is that unsafe materials should be replaced with materials that are non-combustible or of limited combustibility.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 11/03/2019 16:25:08 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
