Buildings: Insulation
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer given on 25 July 2018 to Question 164527 on Buildings: Insulation, whether the Government has made an estimate of the number of (a) schools, (b) care homes, (c) hospitals and (c) other high-risk buildings that might have combustible cladding or insulation.
- Answer
-
The Government’s Building Safety Programme is tracking the remediation of residential buildings over 18 metres with unsafe Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding systems. The data in our monthly data release includes buildings which are partially clad in these materials.
We do not hold the relevant information for buildings with other cladding or insulation systems. As of 12 October 2018, there are 9 high-rise (over 18 metres) publicly owned buildings, comprising hospitals and schools in England with ACM cladding systems unlikely to meet the Building Regulations requirements. Of these, 8 are hospitals and 1 is a school.
We are working with the Department of Health and Social Care, NHS Improvement and Department for Education to ensure that appropriate remediation steps are being taken on public buildings. We are not aware of any high-rise care homes over 18 metres with unsafe ACM cladding systems. We do not hold the relevant information for any buildings with other cladding or insulation systems.
