answer text <p>Where Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding is present on social housing over 18 metres in height, the Government is providing testing for local authorities and housing associations 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 and the fire and rescue service will determine the best course of action, communicating closely with residents. Where work is necessary to ensure the fire safety of social housing, we will ensure that lack of financial resources will not prevent it going ahead.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government has acted on the recommendations of the Coroner's report into the Lakanal House fire. In relation to the recommendation to simplify the fire safety guidance relating to Building Regulations (Approved Document B), this work was being progressed. Following the tragedy at Grenfell Tower, we will need to consider the position on guidance further alongside the Prime Minister's commitment to look at wider issues. This work will now need to be informed by any recommendations that the independent inquiry into the Grenfell Tower fire make.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department has compiled information on buildings of interest, including all residential tower blocks over 18 metres owned by local authorities and housing associations. We continue to strengthen this information, working closely with tower block owners. Information on the constituency is recorded where independent Building Research Establishment tests have been failed. Local authorities have been asked to contact relevant constituency MPs.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Where Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding is present on residential buildings 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, it is for landlords in consultation with the fire and rescue service and other experts to determine, and take, the best course of action, communicating closely with residents. My Department has issued advice on the interim mitigating measures landlords should implement. Where work is necessary to ensure the fire safety of social housing, we will ensure that lack of financial resources will not prevent them going ahead.</p> more like this
