High Rise Flats: Fire Prevention

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many social housing blocks have failed the recent fire safety tests co-ordinated by his Department in each local authority area.

Answer

Following the completion of the large-scale system tests, we have published consolidated advice to building owners which contains a summary of the numbers of initial screening tests which have been completed to date by the Building Research Establishment:

Where social housing buildings fail the tests, local authorities in England are informing the relevant constituency MP.
