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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of introducing an audit programme to ensure compliance with the Code of Practice for the remediation of residential buildings.

We have been clear that all remediation projects should comply with the Code. We will take appropriate action where there is a failure to comply, including legislating if necessary.
