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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to his Department's publication entitled, Building Safety Programme: monthly data release, if he will publish the criteria his Department uses to classify blocks as started remediation; and whether that criteria includes blocks for which cladding has only been partially removed.

The start of remediation works on Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding systems for individual buildings is defined as the commencement of physical work beyond interim measures to permanently make that building safe, such as starting to remove and replace cladding. Data on progress towards completion for buildings which have started remediation works on ACM cladding systems is not collected.
