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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to his oral statement of 20 January 2020, Official Report, column 24, on Building Safety, whether it is his policy that Aluminium Composite Material cladding should be removed from all buildings regardless of height.

ACM cladding with an unmodified polyethylene filler presents a significant fire hazard on residential buildings at any height with any form of insulation, and action to remediate unsafe wall systems and remove unsafe cladding should be taken as soon as possible. Further advice on the measures building owners should take to ensure building safety can be found in the updated advice at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/building-safety-advice-for-building-owners-including-fire-doors.
