Our response
The GLA does not hold the information within the scope of your request.
For context, no such rule has been set but Deputy Mayors Jules Pipe and Tom Copley issued a statement on the GLA’s approach to emerging Government policy on staircases in tall buildings publishing in a consultation at the end of last year.
