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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what guidance his Department issues on the financial support available to (a) councils and (b) private tenants whose buildings were built with reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete and now need remedial work.

Building standards are a devolved matter, it is for the Scottish Government to determine the action that should be taken on affected buildings in Scotland. In England, building owners are responsible for ensuring their buildings are safe and should act quickly to fix any dangerous defects.
