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 7 January 2020 to Question 117, on High Rise Flats: Safety, where the purpose of the Housing Checks inbox was first set out.

As noted in the answer to Parliamentary Question 117 on 7 January 2020, following the Grenfell fire the Housing Checks mailbox was established to allow local authorities (LAs) and housing associations (HAs) to report their stock of buildings with unsafe Aluminium Composite Cladding. This mailbox and its purpose was first set out in a letter from our Permanent Secretary to LA Chief Executives and HA Chief Executives on 18 June 2017 which can be found here .
