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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what estimate he has made of the cost to the public purse of remediation work for buildings deemed not to be fire-safe.

The programme has prioritised remediation of combustible cladding – and particularly ACM cladding – because it acts as a fire accelerant and poses the greatest risk of fire spread. We have made £1.6 billion available to support the remediation of unsafe cladding.
