Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, how many buildings in the UK have been reported to have expanded polystyrene insulation (EPS).
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.
