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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the administration cost of collecting contributions towards the Building Safety Fund from leaseholders living in residential buildings 18 metres and over.

We do not expect any contributions towards the Building Safety Fund from leaseholders. The additional £3.5 billion announced on 10 February provides assurance for leaseholders that all eligible applications to the Building Safety Fund will be able to proceed and that Government will fully fund the cost of replacing unsafe cladding for all leaseholders in residential buildings 18 metres and over in England.
