High Rise Flats: Insulation

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government,what estimate he has made of the cost to (a) local authorities and (b) housing associations of carrying out the data collection exercise on residential buildings 18 metres and over in height to identify their external wall systems.

Answer

In September 2019 the Department announced the provision of £4 million new burdens funding to support local authorities with the External Wall Systems data collection. This funding allows local authorities to collect data on their own social stock, and on the private residential stock, hotels and student accommodation in their areas.

No estimate has been made of the cost to housing associations to provide data on their own social residential properties.
