answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2020 answer text <p>On 29 November 2018, the Government introduced a ban of combustible materials in the external wall of buildings including blocks of flats, student accommodation and care homes with a storey more than 18 metres in height. The ban requires that all materials which become part of an external wall or specified attachment achieve European Class A2-s1, d0 or Class A1, other than those covered by exemptions. There are currently no timber cladding panels able to achieve this performance.</p><p>As stated in the explanatory memorandum the Department intends to review the ban annually through monitoring arrangements and advice from bodies such as Building Regulations Advisory Committee for England. <br> <br>The Department is currently in the process of reviewing the scope of the ban and will report in due course.</p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 07/01/2020 14:04:11 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2020 answer text <p>The Government’s comprehensive programme to oversee Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding remediation included student accommodation. We have pushed building owners hard to remediate unsafe buildings. We have worked closely with local authorities and Fire and Rescue Services to ensure that interim safety measures are in place in all buildings until the cladding is replaced.</p><p>The Government has made clear that building safety is the responsibility of the building owner. We have issued advice (updated in December 2018) to building owners on non-ACM external wall systems and managing the safety of buildings of all heights. The Secretary of State for Education also wrote to all university vice chancellors on 18 November 2019, asking that they – and their commercial partners – review fire safety across all university buildings used by students, including student accommodation, to ensure compliance with building regulations.</p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 07/01/2020 14:02:25 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
