Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, when he plans to appoint a Minister for Building Safety and Fire.
As with all departmental business, the Secretary of State maintains overall responsibility for the work of the department, and I support the Secretary of State on building safety policy. Fire safety policy is a matter for the Home Office and responsibility for this rests with Jeremy Quin, the Minister of State for Crime, Policing and Fire.
