Buildings: Fire Prevention

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 31 January 2020 to Question 8382 on Buildings: Fire Prevention, what assessment his Department has made of the implications for its policies of mortgage lenders' responses to its Advice for Building Owners of Multi-storey, Multi-occupied residential buildings document.

Answer

'Building safety advice for building owners, including fire doors', published in January 2020, provides the latest advice for building owners concerned about the fire safety of their building/s. It is not a compliance document for mortgage lenders. Government is continuing to engage with the mortgage industry to understand its approach to risk.
