High Rise Flats: Fire Prevention

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the answer by Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth on 5 September (HL Deb, col 1896), whether any cladding confirmed by the Building Research Establishment as being made of aluminium composite material, that was referred to under the heading "data sharing" in the letter dated 5 September from the Department of Communities and Local Government to local authorities, was already listed as having been used in the construction of buildings during the last 18 months in the Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.

Answer

Following the completion of the large-scale system tests, we have published consolidated advice (attached) to building owners which contains a summary of the numbers of initial screening tests which have been completed to date by the Building Research Establishment:

Where social housing buildings fail the tests, local authorities in England are informing tenants and the relevant constituency MP.
