To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment his Department (a) is undertaking and (b) plans to undertake on the toxicity of gases produced by the burning of (i) ACM cladding, (ii) high pressure laminate cladding and (iii) other building materials.
On 29 November 2018 the Government introduced a ban of combustible materials in the external wall of buildings including blocks of flat, student accommodation and care homes more than 18 metres in height. The ban requires that all materials which become part of an external wall or specified attachment achieve European Class A2-s1, d0 or Class A1, other than those covered by exemptions. This means that materials are classified by smoke production as well as combustibility and production of droplets. These classifications impose the maximum possible restriction on smoke production.
In addition, the Government published, on 18 December, a call for evidence to form the basis for a technical review of Approved Document B (Fire Safety). Paragraphs 38 to 41 address the issue of smoke and toxicity. The call for evidence closed on 1 March 2019, the Department published in September 2019 an analysis of the responses to the call for evidence which is available at
The Secretary of State announced in his letter to the house on 20 January 2020 that he will set out detailed plans for the full technical review of fire safety guidance in February, including a review of smoke and toxicity.

That this House is concerned by recent reports that the Government has been authorising secret trials gassing badger setts, even though its own earlier research has indicated that such methods regularly failed to work; notes that such practices were banned in England nearly three decades ago when they were found to be cruel, harmful and useless; and calls on the Government to cease all field trials of such methods immediately.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether he has made an assessment at ward level of the incidence of low birthweights around industrial sites which emit gases.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether he has made an assessment at ward level of the incidence of low birthweights around industrial sites which emit gases.
The Department has made no such assessment.
The Health Protection Agency (HPA) has assessed the impact on health of emissions to air from municipal waste incinerators. The agency concluded that modern, well managed incinerators make only a small contribution to local concentrations of air pollutants. It stated that it is possible that such small additions could have an impact on health but such effects, if they exist, are likely to be very small and not detectable.
The HPA has also considered the impact on health of emissions from landfill sites. It concluded that a well-managed modern landfill site does not pose a significant risk to human health.
Both documents can be found on the HPA's website at:
