Asked by:
Clive Lewis (Labour)

Answer

We have initiated testing in priority buildings across the public sector, including NHS Trust and Foundation Trust buildings. We are prioritising testing on buildings where people sleep overnight, which have Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding and are of a certain height. We will identify further priorities for testing in the coming days.
