Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will list the locations of buildings on the defence estate that have flammable cladding.
There are 27 high rise buildings (defined as being of six floors or over) on the defence estate that have currently been confirmed as having an external wall system that contains combustible components. These are shown in the table below:
Number of buildings | Location |
22 | HMNB Clyde |
1 | Hyde Park Barracks |
1 | Royal Centre for Defence Medicine, Birmingham |
2 | HMS Nelson |
1 | HMS Drake |
MOD has also identified a further 728 low rise buildings that may potentially have an external walling system that contains combustible insulation. Investigative work is ongoing.
