Tom Collins (Worcester) (Lab)
It is a real pleasure to serve under your chairship, Sir Desmond. I take this opportunity to welcome the Minister to her place. I am pleased that she mentioned the importance of moving rapidly to remediate buildings, because it is a matter not only of safety but of justice, and of providing reassurance and security for people. That has become starkly apparent in my constituency of Worcester, where the residents of Barbourne Works have found themselves facing not only the difficulties of an unsafe building but the uncertainty over who pays. I am pleased that the Government are moving forward with this quickly to bring about that certainty and the fast remediation of buildings. I thank the Minister for introducing the regulations, which I strongly support, and for all her hard work.
