It's normal practice to brick up between the joists, so that the weight of the inner skin is supported directly by the steel. It also ensures that the cavity is completely closed, so that a fire in the room below cannot spread up the cavity.
Have a word with your Inspector if you're wary of bringing it up with the builder yourself.

Required, not normal.

Maybe he is assuming that the gaps are yet to be bricked up tight to the underside of the blockwork?
Maybe have a word with him before the ceiling and beam are plastered.
Thanks @tony1851 @^woody^
I Really appreciate the advice.
I wasn't around for the inspection, so I'm not certain if it was flagged with the builders. I really hope it was or it'll dent my confidence in the inspections to date.
I have asked for the builders opinion on the matter and they are going to take a look later.
