Grenfell Tower and Building Safety

Mike Kane Excerpts

Monday 18th December 2017 Commons Chamber

[Mike Kane (Wythenshawe and Sale East) (Lab)]

This morning I met representatives of the Wythenshawe Community Housing Group, who estimate the cost of modifications to their blocks in my constituency at £6 million. If the Treasury allowed the works under the VAT shelter incentive, there would be a saving of £1.2 million. Are the Government considering that?

[Sajid Javid]

If I have heard the hon. Gentleman correctly, I believe that he is referring to a housing association. As I understand it, no housing association has approached the housing association regulator. If the housing association to which he refers wishes to do so, I am sure that it will be taken seriously.
