Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps she is taking to ensure leaseholders in buildings under 11 metres with cladding issues are not excluded from safety remediation support.

The department reviews cases brought to its attention which includes undertaking audits of fire risk appraisals of external walls to make sure that proposed works are necessary and proportionate. We engage with freeholders and managing agents to reinforce our position that leaseholders should not face cladding remediation costs.
