answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government is taking the potential impact from the tragic Grenfell Tower fire very seriously. Building owners across the public sector estate have been contacted to ensure any risks are managed and dealt with appropriately and promptly. As part of this, we have contacted all bodies responsible for safety in schools, further education colleges and universities instructing them to carry out checks to identify any building which may require further investigation.</p><p>The two schools to date, where ACM cladding has been identified and tested, have been alerted to the results. As a precautionary step, both schools have already been inspected by the Fire and Rescue Service who confirmed appropriate measures are in place to mitigate the risks from potential fire, and the buildings have now been declared safe for continued use.</p><p>The Department for Education is continuing to work closely with the schools concerned to support them and ensure all the necessary steps are taken to ensure the continued safety of the buildings.</p><p>All schools already have to follow a range of strict fire safety regulations designed to ensure they are as safe as possible and well prepared in the event of a fire. They must have robust plans to follow in the event of a fire, conduct regular fire drills, install sprinklers if an assessment deems them necessary and typically have multiple exit routes.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 24/07/2017 15:59:18 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2017 answer text <p>The Department’s view is that external walls in a tower block can meet the Building Regulations requirement for resisting fire spread in two ways. The first is for each individual component of the wall to be of limited combustibility, and to each meet set standards. The second is to ensure that all the combined elements of a wall, when tested as a whole system, have sufficient fire spread resistance to meet a set standard.</p><p>We are currently undertaking further testing of whole external wall systems to determine whether they would have sufficient fire spread resistance. We will release further details when the findings are available.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 24/07/2017 15:42:29 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
