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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what representations he has received on (a) the safety of Euroclass B-F cladding and insulation and (b) concerns regarding the British Standard 8414 large-scale fire test.

My Department has received numerous comments on the safety of cladding and insulation materials and on the British Standard 8414 test. The guidance published by the Department and by the Independent Expert Panel reflects a considered assessment of those comments.
