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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the Written Statement of 21 July 2021, HCWS228 on Housing Update, whether the Government plans to repay leaseholders who have already paid for EWS1.

The EWS1 process is not a Government one. There are no plans to reimburse for costs incurred in commissioning an EWS1.
