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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what recent discussions her Department has had with (a) cladding and (b) insulation manufacturers on financial contributions to building safety remediation works.

The department is clear that all those responsible for unsafe cladding being used on buildings should take responsibility for paying to remove it.

The Cabinet Office has written to organisations named in the Inquiry, who bear different levels of responsibility for the failings. For those found by the Inquiry to have been part of these horrific failings, this is the first step to stopping them being awarded government contracts.
