Buildings: Insulation

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether he has made an assessment of the effectiveness of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors' external wall fire review process in identifying combustible materials in buildings; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

The EWS1 form was developed by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and published on 16 December. It is designed to enable industry to manage valuations of properties in multi-occupancy buildings 18 metres and over. Given the short time in operation it is premature to make any assessment of its usage however Government is engaged with industry on this.
