Systems that failed the Government’s large scale cladding tests are in use on 165. Cladding systems that passed the tests are in use on eight social housing towers.

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 Sir Alok Sharma

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2017 answer text <p>On 30 June, we published a note at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/explanatory-note-on-safety-checks-and-testing" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/explanatory-note-on-safety-checks-and-testing</a> that sets out the immediate steps providers of social housing should be taking to ensure fire safety following the identification of Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding. It is for the building owner to consider whether to remove cladding. They should take expert professional advice on this. Removal of cladding needs to be done safely and without compromising other aspects of the building’s external wall system.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 19/07/2017 13:53:05 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2017 answer text <p>The estimate of 530 given on 3 July came from early work that looked at social housing clad in any sort of aluminium in England. We have since been in regular contact with every local authority and housing association in the country to identify all social housing tower blocks above 18 meters that are clad specifically in aluminium composite material (ACM). Based on work to date, we know there are 173 high rise social housing buildings with ACM cladding in England and that 165 of these buildings have cladding systems that present fire hazards. We are not currently aware of any other ACM clad social housing blocks that are awaiting testing.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 11/09/2017 15:25:48 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
