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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 20 March 2019 to Question 232020 on Buildings: Insulation, whether his Department plans to test standard class High-Pressure Laminate cladding (Euroclass D) with stonewool insulation.

The Department is undertaking a test of a Euroclass B high pressure laminate panel as information from industry has suggested that this is the most commonly used type of high pressure laminate panel. The Department has no plans at present to carry out a test of Euroclass D high pressure laminate panels with stonewool insulation behind them but will consider further tests as necessary.
