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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, whether his Department has a central database of all residential tower blocks, including information by (a) type of tower block owner, (b) local authority and (c) constituency.

The Department has compiled information on buildings of interest, including all residential tower blocks over 18 metres owned by local authorities and housing associations. We continue to strengthen this information, working closely with tower block owners. Information on the constituency is recorded where independent Building Research Establishment tests have been failed. Local authorities have been asked to contact relevant constituency MPs.
