Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, when the last time the Cladding Joint Inspection Team met; and how many enforcement actions that team has taken in each month since 2018.
Information and data on enforcement action on buildings with unsafe ACM cladding systems taken by local authorities and fire and rescue services and the support provided by the Joint Inspection Team is included in the latest Building Safety Programme Data Release, which is available at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/aluminium-composite-material-cladding#acm-remediation-data and is updated monthly. The Joint Inspection Team has supported local authorities in carrying out inspections on 18 buildings with unsafe ACM cladding systems (including 2 in December 2020), and currently has 1 further inspection organised. Responsibility for enforcement actions remains with the local authority.
