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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, when the fund to mitigate against life safety fire risks associated with cladding on mid-rise residential buildings that are 11-18m in height in cases where a Responsible Entity can demonstrate that other options to cover costs are unavailable will be open for applications.

The Government is launching a new 11-18m cladding remediation scheme to fund work on buildings where a responsible developer cannot be identified.  We are planning to open the scheme on an interim basis, initially targeting a small number of high-risk buildings in interim measures. Details of the 11-18m Remediation Fund will be announced as soon as they are ready.
