As at 12 April, our testing programme at Building Research Establishment (BRE) has identified 317 buildings with Aluminium Composite Materials (ACM) cladding in England. Of these, 304 have cladding systems which the expert panel advise are unlikely to meet current building regulations guidance and therefore present fire hazards on buildings over 18 metres. (Of the 304 buildings: 158 are social housing, 14 are public buildings, 101 are private residential and 31 are student residential.) We publish the most recent figures on the Government website every month.

Every month the Department publishes its latest figures in a data release. The latest can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/building-safety-programme-monthly-data-release-april-2018
