Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 11 January 2021 to Question 910680 on Buildings: Insulation, what progress his Department has made with its data collection exercise on buildings in England that have combustible non-ACM cladding; and when he plans to publish that data.
Local authorities and housing associations are conducting a data collection exercise as part of a programme to build a more complete picture of high-rise residential buildings and the variety of external wall systems in use.
Some data from the collection is already published. Data estimating the proportion of high-rise residential buildings in England with little or no cladding can be found in this release: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/building-safety-programme-estimates-of-ews1-requirements-on-residential-buildings-in-england/building-safety-programme-estimates-of-ews1-requirements-on-residential-buildings-in-england
We are currently undertaking checks on the remaining data to ensure accuracy before publication. We will publish appropriate summary information from the data collection when ready.
