Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 20 July 2017 to Question 4915, on Grenfell Tower: Fires, how many cladding samples were tested during the initial testing phase; and if he will publish the results of those tests.

As of 10 September 2017 the Building Research Establishment had received 1523 samples to be tested under the Government’s screening programme.

All 538 samples which were Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding have been tested and landlords informed of the result. The remaining samples were not ACM and therefore outside the scope of the Government’s screening programme.
