<p>We estimate that there are over 6,000 high-rise private-sector buildings in England.
Every month the Department publishes its latest figures in a data release. The latest
can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/building-safety-programme-monthly-data-release-june-2018"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/building-safety-programme-monthly-data-release-june-2018</a>.
We are considering what further information it may be appropriate to release.</p><p>Data
on total numbers of public residential and public and private non-residential high-rise
buildings are not held centrally.</p><p>The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local
Government has been working with local authorities to collect data on additional private
sector buildings with similar combinations of Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding
and insulation to those which have failed large-scale system tests, but which have
not been tested by Building Research Establishment (BRE). Local authorities have assessed
over 6,000 high rise private sector residential buildings using a combination of information
from local fire and rescue services, building plans, ACM tests undertaken elsewhere,
knowledge of similar buildings where BRE tests have confirmed ACM, and building inspections.
These figures could change over the coming months as further clarity is sought.</p>
