Written Question
Schools: Fire Prevention
Thursday 6th April 2023

Asked by: Lord Best (Crossbench - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government when they will publish a response to their consultation Building Bulletin 100: Fire Safety Design for Schools, which closed on 18 August 2021.

Answered by Baroness Barran - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)

The department takes fire safety in schools very seriously. This is why the consultation draft of ‘BB100: Fire Safety Design for Schools’ proposed multiple interventions to further improve the already high fire safety standards of school buildings.

The department has been reviewing and evaluating the evidence submitted before, during, and post consultation, and will publish the response to the consultation and updated guidance in due course.
