High Rise Flats: Fire Prevention

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what number and proportion of housing cladding samples have been tested within 24 hours of receipt.

Answer

As of 10 September 2017 the Building Research Establishment had received 1523 samples to be tested under the Government’s screening programme.

All 538 samples which were Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding have been tested and landlords informed of the result. The remaining samples were not ACM and therefore outside the scope of the Government’s screening programme.
