Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he has made a recent assessment of the potential merits of ensuring that people who (a) live in high-rise buildings and (b) cannot self-evacuate have personal emergency evacuation plans.

Government consulted on personal emergency evacuation plans, identifying concerns over their practicality, proportionality and safety.

A new package of measures to address these concerns was consulted on, and government is currently considering the responses and will publish a response in due course.
