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

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many buildings still have illegal aluminium composite material cladding.

Information on the number of high-rise (over 18m) residential and publicly owned buildings in England with Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding systems, unlikely to meet building regulations and yet to be remediated, is published in the building safety programme monthly data release, available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/building-safety-programme-monthly-data-release-january-2020.

At 31 January 2020, there are 141 high-rise residential and publicly owned buildings in England that have completed remediation works to remove and replace ACM cladding systems – an increase of six since the end of December.

This leaves a total of 310 high-rise residential and publicly owned buildings with ACM cladding systems unlikely to meet Building Regulations yet to be remediated in England. Of the 86 social sector residential buildings with ACM cladding systems unlikely to meet Building Regulations yet to be remediated:

• 75 have started remediation;

• 10 have a remediation plan in place but works have not started; and

• 1 building has reported an intent to remediate and is developing plans.

Of the 175 private sector residential buildings with ACM cladding systems unlikely to meet Building Regulations yet to be remediated:

• 32 have started remediation;

• 100 have a remediation plan in place but works have not started; and

• 43 have responded with an intent to remediate and are developing plans.
