Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, which regulations set out the safety requirements for cladding and external wall insulation systems; when those requirements were last reviewed; and who last reviewed those requirements.

A number of parts of the Building Regulations are relevant - particularly those relating to structural safety, fire safety, resistance to moisture and conservation of fuel and power. The Building Regulations are kept under review, and the Prime Minister has made clear that we need to look at wider issues in the light of the Grenfell Tower fire.
