My rt hon Friend the Minister of State for Policing, Fire and Crime Prevention (Dame Diana Johnson) has today made the following Written Ministerial Statement:
I am today publishing the Government’s response to the Emergency Evacuation Information Sharing Plus (EEIS+) consultation, which provides further detail of our new Residential PEEPs policy.
This policy, which was previously announced in a written ministerial statement on 2 September 2024 (HCWS62), introduces new measures to improve the fire safety for vulnerable residents in high-rise and higher-risk residential blocks of flats, and represents a milestone in addressing the recommendations of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, a key priority for this Government.
Following publication of this Government response, subject to parliamentary approval, we will move to lay Regulations to implement the new policy.
A copy of the Government response will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses and it will also be published on GOV.UK.
