Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what proportion of housing fires in England and Wales involved properties constructed using Modern Methods of Construction; and what estimate he has made of the cost of those fires to the public purse.
This information is not held centrally. Fire Statistics are collected by fire brigades and collated centrally by the Home Office. These statistics do not record the detailed form of construction of each building unless the building is timber framed.
