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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether his Department has issued guidance on liability for the costs of preparing a building safety case on cladding remediation requirements.

As part of the new building safety regime, all those accountable for higher-risk buildings are required to assess and manage building safety risks for their building, and prepare a safety case report which will be submitted to the Building Safety Regulator. The Building Safety Regulator produced guidance on developing a safety case and on preparing a safety case report which can be found at: Preparing a building assessment certificate application - GOV.UK.
