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

To ask Her Majesty's Government what action they are taking to ensure that cable standards are strengthened to improve their ability to react to fire, in order to improve public safety in buildings.

The independent review of building regulations and fire safety, which recently reported, made a number of recommendations about the testing and labelling of products with safety implications. The Government is considering its response to the recommendations. As part of that process, the Government will review evidence related to the classification of electrical cabling.
