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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether his Department plans to provide support for homeowners with remediation costs for building safety defects created prior to June 1992.

Eligibility for the Building Safety Fund and the Cladding Safety Scheme is not dependent on when the cladding was installed, just that it was.

Furthermore, we have extended the limitation period under the Defective Premises Act 1972 from six to 30 years retrospectively to allow claims for compensation to be brought against those who have been involved in the construction of a dwelling where the dwelling is deemed not ‘fit for habitation’ at the time of completion.
