We have asked owners of buildings over 18 metres (which is the height at which Building Regulations for tall buildings apply) with Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding to submit samples to the Building Research Establishment for screening to establish whether the materials submitted are of limited combustibility. Where samples do not meet the limited combustibility test we are also collecting information on what insulation materials have been used.<\/p>

Summary advice published on 5 September (available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/building-safety-programme-update-and-consolidated-advice-for-building-owners-following-large-scale-testing<\/a>) sets out the results of screening tests and the seven large-scale system tests conducted over the summer, including the number of buildings tested.<\/p>

Local authorities have been asked to ensure that all residential blocks in their areas with ACM have been identified, interim measures put in place and any necessary remedial work undertaken, and to provide the department with data on this.<\/p>

This Government is committed to supporting landlords to tackle the small minority of social tenants who, by cheating the system, deprive those in need of a social home.<\/p>

That is why we supported and implemented the Prevention of Social Housing Fraud Act 2013 (\u2018the 2013 Act\u2019), which came into force on 15 September 2013. The Act increases the deterrent to tenants considering cheating the system, allows those who do cheat to be detected more easily and punished more severely, and encourages social landlords to take a more proactive approach to tackling fraud in their stock.<\/p>

It is also why, between 2011 and 2015, we provided £19 million of funding: to help local authorities, working in partnership with other social landlords, to tackle social housing fraud; and provided funding to support the Chartered Institute of Housing to provide hands-on practical advice to landlords on which policies and procedures work best.<\/p>

The Audit Commission\u2019s 2014 and final Protecting the Public Purse report found that the number of social homes recovered from tenancy fraudsters in 2013/14 had increased by 15 per cent over the previous year to 3,030. The 2016 Protecting the Public Purse, now compiled and published by TEICCAF, reported that in 2015/16 there were 2,700 investigations of social housing fraud generating an estimated £50,200,000 worth of savings across the country. The national average of properties recovered per authority during that period was 34.<\/p>

We have no plans currently to commission an estimate of the extent of tenancy fraud in social housing. We will, however, continue to keep the implementation of the 2013 Act under review.<\/p>

We do not hold information on the residence of defendants proceeded against for offences under the 2013 Act.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4014", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Reading West"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Alok Sharma"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-09-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "8971"} , {"_value" : "8973"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-09-11T14:59:33.337Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "7"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Communities and Local Government"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Communities and Local Government"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-09-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Social Rented Housing"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 5 September 2017 to Question 5844, if he will commission an update of the 2012 estimate of the Audit Commission on the extent of tenancy fraud in the social housing sector and whether it is higher or lower as a result of Government initiatives.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/242", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Christopher Chope"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Christchurch"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Christopher Chope"} ], "uin" : "8970"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/757560", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Communities and Local Government"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/757560/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
