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

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have received advice regarding the prevention of broken protective earthed neutral conductors in the electrical systems of tower blocks and other sensitive buildings.

I am aware of my Noble Friend's long-standing interest in electrical safety in tower blocks and sensitive buildings. The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) keeps evidence that emerges from the electrical incidents database and its engagement with stakeholders, under review. My secretary will write to HSE officials and ask whether they might meet with you, so that you can explain the issue.
