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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what estimate he has made of the number of buildings that have commissioned more than one EWS1 survey and received different ratings; and what guidance he has provided on how building owners should manage a situation where a B2 rating has been superseded and discredited by a later survey with lenders.

The building owner is responsible for commissioning an EWS1 assessment and should therefore clarify which form is extant in the case of duplicate assessments, including if one is no longer required, referring to the professionals who conducted the assessments as necessary.
