High Rise Flats: Birmingham

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many (a) private tower blocks and (b) social housing blocks in Birmingham have been identified as requiring the removal and replacement of unsafe aluminium composite cladding.

Answer

As of 30 April, Birmingham has between 1 and 5 private sector high-rise buildings identified with Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding systems unlikely to meet Building Regulations which are yet to be remediated. This data is published in the April 2019 Building Safety Programme Data Release.

There has been no funding allocated to Birmingham City Council as we are not aware of any social sector high-rise buildings with ACM cladding in Birmingham.
