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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will provide funding to councils to test cladding for fire safety on high rise flats which do not have aluminium composite material panels.

We are prioritising testing on buildings where people sleep overnight, which have Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding, and are of a certain height. Where appropriate, organisations are working with the fire and rescue service locally to put in place precautionary safety checks and measures.
