Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department has discussed the stay put policy in relation to fires in tower blocks with West Midlands Fire Service since the fire at Grenfell Tower.

We have not discussed the Stay Put policy with West Midlands Fire Service. However, online guidance is available on the principle of stay put and how to ensure the fire safety measures in place in a purpose built block of flats are robust enough to support it, at www.local.gov.uk/fire-safety-purpose-built-flats.
