PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
High Rise Flats: Insulation (17 January 2020)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what recent estimate he has made of the number of high-rise buildings with flammable cladding.

Asked by:
Mr Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi (Labour)

Answer

The Department publishes data on the number of high-rise residential and publicly owned buildings in England with ACM cladding systems unlikely to meet building regulations. The latest data is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/building-safety-programme-monthly-data-release-december-2019.

The Department has also commenced a data collection exercise which will enable us to build a picture of external wall systems in use on high rise residential buildings. The exercise will collect data on residential buildings 18 metres and over covering private and social buildings, student accommodation and hotels in England. We will publish appropriate summary information from the data collection in our monthly Building Safety Programme data release in due course.
