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 policy paper entitled Joint plan to accelerate developer-led remediation and improve resident experience, published on 2 December 2024, when her Department will begin publishing developer performance against audits; and whether it will report retrospectively on audits carried out since the commencement of the Developer Remediation Contract.

We will start reporting on audit results in 2025.

Under the terms of the developer remediation contract, signatory developers committed to use all reasonable endeavours to resolve third party disputes fairly and as quickly as possible.

In the joint plan we published on 2 December, the Government committed to publish guidance on alternative dispute resolution by March 2025. Developers that signed up to the joint plan have committed to offer alternative dispute resolution where necessary to resolve such disputes.
