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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to her Department's Remediation Acceleration Plan, published on 2 December 2024, whether her Department plans to set a deadline for the completion of cladding remediation works on 11 to 18 metre buildings.

By the end of 2029, every building 11m+ with unsafe cladding will either have been remediated, have a date for completion, or the landlords will be liable for severe penalties.

We have to recognise that with so many mid-rise residential buildings still to be identified that they won’t all be fixed by 2029. But we must make sure that they all have an end date in sight – or that there will be consequences for landlords if not. This will give all residents the certainty that so many of them currently lack.
