- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the clarity of the guidance set out in paragraph 12.7 of Approved Document B on materials which can be used above and below 18 metres in high rise buildings.
- Answer
-
The Coroner’s report into Lakanal House recommended simplifying the fire safety guidance relating to Building Regulations (Approved Document B). This work was being progressed. Following the tragedy at Grenfell Tower, we will need to consider the position on guidance further alongside the Prime Minister’s commitment to look at wider issues.
