Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what recent assessment his Department has made of the fire safety of Modern Methods of Construction.

MMC homes have to meet building regulations standards, including fire safety standards, in the same way as homes built using traditional methods of construction. In addition, there are safeguards in place through various assurance and warranty processes to ensure the quality and standard in such homes. We will also be commissioning a research project on modular construction to further understand these new construction technologies.
