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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 20 May 2019 to Question 254194 on High Rise Flats: Insulation, whether the funding announced in his Department's press release of 9 May 2019, Government to fund and speed up vital cladding replacement, will be sufficient for the remediation of all the high-rise private sector residential buildings identified with aluminium composite material cladding.

On 9 May, The Government announced its commitment to fully fund the remediation of private sector high-rise residential blocks with unsafe Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding, except where a warranty claim is accepted. The fund will cover reasonable costs associated with the removal and replacement of unsafe ACM cladding systems on all eligible buildings. We will publish the full fund application guidance including eligibility and evidence criteria by mid-July and we expect that the formal application process will begin by late Summer.
