It was answered by Lee Rowley (Conservative) on Tuesday, 31 January 2023 on behalf of the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.

Buildings: Warwick and Leamington

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, how many buildings within Warwick and Leamington constituency have been found to contain expanded polystyrene insulation.

Answer: The department is collecting this information with respect to external wall systems for high-rise (over 18m in height) residential buildings in England via local authorities and housing associations. This is part of an ongoing data collection that will enable us to build a picture of external wall systems in use (including their insulation) on high rise residential buildings. We will publish appropriate summary information from the data collection in due course.
