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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what estimate he made of the (a) number of blocks (b) cost per block and (c) cost per dwelling of removing dangerous non-ACM cladding when calculating the £1 billion Building Safety Fund.

The Government is providing £1 billion through a new Building Safety Fund to help meet the costs of unsafe non-ACM cladding remediation. The size of the fund reflects Government’s expectation that, as for ACM cladding remediation, a significant number of building owners will fund this work themselves, through those originally responsible for the defects and through warranty claims before seeking Government funding or passing on costs to their leaseholders.
