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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to his oral statement of 15 March 2018, Official Report, column 1018, on Building Safety, how many different fire doors his Department is testing.

The first door was tested by the Metropolitan Police as part of their investigation. So far two additional doors have been tested by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. The Expert Panel has commissioned additional testing and inspections of fire doors from the same batch of doors installed at Grenfell and a sample of other doors as part of its investigation. The number of fire doors to be tested will be decided as the investigation proceeds.

I have committed to updating the House when further information is available, and no later than the end of April 2018.
