Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps her Department is taking to help reduce delays to cladding remediation works.

MHCLG are committed to fulfilling the Government’s ambition to accelerate the pace of remediation. We will work with partners across the construction and building safety sectors to make sure buildings are safer, faster. The Deputy Prime Minister is holding national roundtables to press home the urgency of this work and agree a joint plan for accelerating remediation.

The Recovery Strategy Unit is continuing to take action against the worst offenders to hold them to account in fixing their buildings and paying for remediation. We will set out our Remediation Acceleration Plan containing further steps this autumn.
