To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what estimate she has made of the number of residential buildings in (a) London and (b) England which have been granted funding from the building safety fund where work has not begun.

Data on the progress and costs of the Waking Watch Relief and Replacement Funds, launched prior to 2023, are published as part of the Building Safety Remediation: monthly data release - June 2024 - GOV.UK. The Waking Watch Replacement Fund 2023 opened on 25 May 2023 and closed for new applications on 31 March 2024. Waking Watch Replacement Fund 2023 data is not currently reported as part of the Building Safety Remediation Monthly Data Release, however we will include full fund data within future releases in due course.

As of the end of June 2024, there are currently 14 buildings eligible for remediation through the Building Safety Fund in the constituency of Brentford and Isleworth. Of these 14, it is estimated that 11 buildings have received funding for their remediation, covering approximately 700 residential units across the constituency.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of prisoners released between October 2023 and June 2024 under the End of Custody Supervised License scheme were subsequently recalled to prison.

We are constantly monitoring the use of End of Custody Supervised Licence (ECSL) and its impact.

ECSL was implemented in October 2023. Since its operation, the number of ECSL releases between 17 October 2023 and 30 June 2024 was 10,083.

The information requested could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost, because it would require the linkage and reconciliation of multiple administrative datasets.
