answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2017 answer text <p>The priority must always be ensuring the safety of residents. Where Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding is present on housing over 18 metres in height, the Government is providing testing for local authorities, housing associations and private sector landlords free of charge. If the screening tests indicate that such cladding would not meet the limited combustibility requirements of the current Building Regulations guidance, local authorities, housing associations, private sector landlords and the fire and rescue service will determine the best course of action, communicating closely with residents. We have given landlords advice on the immediate mitigating actions they should take and are consulting an expert advisory panel to develop further advice. We will publish a list of buildings tested in due course.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma grouped question UIN 3902 question first answered 19/07/2017 16:25:33 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
