<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>
