Buildings: Insulation

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to his Department's data release entitled, Building Safety Programme: Monthly Data Release for August 2019, what steps his Department is taking to confirm the cladding status of the four private sector residential buildings for which such status is still to be confirmed.

Answer

Buildings with an unknown status are those buildings where we are awaiting verification that they have unsafe Aluminium Composite Material cladding. We are working with the relevant local authorities - London Borough of Brent, London Borough of Harrow and Liverpool City Council - who identified the four buildings and are waiting for the outcome of their investigations to verify the types of cladding present.
