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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what estimate his Department has made of the number of dwellings in towers with the same cladding material as Grenfell Tower in England.

MHCLG estimates that there are approximately 9,100 dwellings in the remaining 119 high-rise (over 18 metres) social residential buildings in England with Aluminium Composite Material cladding systems unlikely to meet Building Regulations.

We estimate approximately 17,400 dwellings in the remaining 167 high-rise (over 18 metres) private residential buildings in England with combinations of Aluminium Composite Material cladding and insulation unlikely to meet Building Regulations.
