answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2017 answer text <p>The immediate priority was to identify the scale of use of Aluminium Composite Material ACM type cladding on buildings over 18 metres. On the advice of the Independent Expert Panel, the Government has now commissioned the Building Research Establishment to test different wall cladding systems using three common types of Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) panelling with two commonly used types of insulation. The results will provide further evidence of how some commonly used wall systems using ACM perform in a fire. This evidence will be used to produce further advice to inform building owners’ decisions on whether they need to take any additional action to make their buildings safe.</p><p>Advice was provided on 14 July in a note to all building control bodies, which highlighted the key Building Regulation requirements when cladding work on high rise buildings over 18 metres tall is undertaken. That note can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/ensure-that-recladding-work-meets-building-regulations-advises-expert-panel" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/news/ensure-that-recladding-work-meets-building-regulations-advises-expert-panel</a></p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 20/07/2017 15:22:05 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Lord Sharma previous answer version 3361 answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma answering member 4014 label Biography information for Lord Sharma

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government has not set a date for the permanent rehousing of those who lost their homes, but we are working rapidly to find permanent housing as soon as possible. We have already announced a new block of social housing in Kensington Row that will provide 68 permanent new homes, and we are urgently working with a number of developers to secure similar properties in the area. The Prime Minister said clearly in her statement on 22 June that families who lost their homes as a result of the Grenfell Tower fire will be guaranteed a new home on the same terms as the one they lost. We are working closely with the families to ensure the properties made available will match what they want.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 20/07/2017 16:38:03 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Lord Sharma
