(asked on 16th July 2020) - View Source
Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the number of qualified chartered fire engineers who can carry out an EWS1 survey.
This question was answered on 24th July 2020
The EWS1 process was designed by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors to support the valuation of flats in high-rise blocks. In some cases, this will require an assessment by a fire engineer. The Institution of Fire Engineers has informed MHCLG that there are around 291 chartered fire engineers.
