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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential economic merits of implementing equivalent schemes to the (a) Australian Victoria development levy system for developers (b) an Australian New South Wales developer remediation loan.

I am determined to protect leaseholders from unaffordable costs. This was why we committed £1.6 billion to fund the remediation of high rise residential buildings with unsafe cladding. It was also why, when the Building Safety Bill was published, we singled out this topic as a key issue to address. We will update on any further measures required before the final Bill is introduced to Parliament.
