Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, when he plans to update the Consolidated Advice Note to reflect the announcement of 21 July 2021 that buildings under 18 metres will no longer require an EWS1 form.
As stated in the 21 July Written Ministerial Statement, the Department will shortly retire the Consolidated Advice Note.
The Consolidated Advice Note will be superseded by new statutory fire safety guidance and the British Standards Institution (BSI) will publish guidelines on how to undertake fire risk assessments of external walls.
