Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 14 June 2021 to Question 12143, for what reason the additional £3.5 billion of funding to remediate unsafe cladding from high rise residential buildings that will be made available from the current financial year was not included in the budget on 3 March 2021.

On 10 February 2021, MHCLG announced £3.5bn additional funding for cladding remediation, alongside a wider package of building safety measures. MHCLG will announce further details on the availability of this funding in due course.

The Treasury sets departmental budgets at Spending Reviews.
