Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, if he will list any meetings he has held with disability campaign groups to discuss building safety since 25 October 2022, in particular on the impact on disabled people of living through remediation works.

We recognise the significant impact that building safety remediation works can have on residents living through them. The Secretary of State regularly meets with residents and campaign groups to hear directly from affected people on issues relating to building safety and remediation and we acknowledge the additional impacts these issues can have on those with disabilities.

Officials met groups representing disabled residents in November to discuss the challenges disabled people face in living through remediation works and to discuss how best to engage with disabled residents going forward. I hope to arrange a meeting to hear directly from them on these important issues in the near future. Ministerial meetings will be recorded on the Department's website in the usual way.
