Any masonry below dpc needs to be rated (resistant to frost etc) and mebbe need a set crushing strength.
So long as the facing brick achieves the necessary rating then it can be used. Same thing with any block.
I think the rating needed is F.L. rating. Check with the supplier. Standard lightweight blocks do not normally comply so we use dense 7n concrete fellas.
