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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what provisions are in place for leaseholders who have already paid for the costs of remediating dangerous cladding from their buildings to claim back those costs through the (a) Building Safety Fund or (b) forthcoming loan scheme, announced on 10 February 2021.

The purpose of Government funding is to make homes safer, quicker. The Building Safety Fund does not cover the costs of remediation work on buildings with non-ACM cladding systems that had been committed to, or where work had started on site, prior to the Budget announcement on 11 March 2020. We will be publishing further details on the financing scheme for buildings between 11-18 metres.
