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 232574 on Buildings: Insulation, how many fire barriers per storey are installed in line with normal industry practice.

As set out in my answer of 20 March to Question UIN 232574, fire barriers will be arranged similarly to those used in previous BS 8414 tests commissioned by the Department; the details of which are available on the building safety programme web page at www.gov.uk/guidance/the-building-safety-programme. As with previous tests we work with industry bodies to ensure that the design is representative of industry practice.
