Buildings: Insulation
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of requiring a fire safety test for buildings with unsafe cladding to ensure the other fire safety regulations were correctly adhered to at the time of building.
- Answer
-
Measures being taken through the Fire Safety Bill, which is currently going through Parliament, will clarify the Fire Safety Order to put beyond doubt that structure, external walls and flat entrance doors must be included in fire risk assessments. The Bill will also allow enforcement action to be taken confidently by Fire and Rescue Authorities, where necessary.
