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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether the standard private sector ACM remediation contracts agreed with the responsible entity for each site includes clauses that (a) relate to comments on government policy and (b) seek recovery of monies from the leaseholders; and if he will place a copy the standard contract in the Library.

There are no provisions within the private sector ACM remediation funding agreement which affect applicants’ ability to comment on government policy. The private sector remediation fund will protect leaseholders from bearing the cost of remediation, and there are clauses within the funding agreement to ensure this.
