High Rise Flats: Fire Prevention
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 11 July 2017 to Question 2992, whether he plans that the resources to ensure the fire safety of social housing will be made available based on new fire safety regulations arising out of the Grenfell Tower fire or on existing fire regulations.
- Answer
-
It is the landlord’s responsibility to ensure that people are safe, and cost considerations should not get in the way of this. Where work is necessary to ensure the fire safety of social housing, we will ensure that lack of financial resources will not prevent it going ahead.
