It is for building owners to ensure that their buildings are safe – and to seek appropriate professional advice as required. Advice Note 14 helps building owners take the most appropriate course of action should there be any concerns about their building’s external wall system. Local authorities and Fire and Rescue Services may take action on individual buildings where safety issues have been identified.</p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 08/10/2019 10:16:40 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey previous answer version 137091 answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
