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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what (a) discussions, (b) meetings and (c) correspondence his Department has had with leaseholders of buildings requiring remedial fire safety works.

The Department has regular engagement with leaseholders living in buildings with unsafe cladding and we are aware of the concerns they have. Leaseholders can access specialist advice to understand their rights through the Leasehold Advisory Service (LEASE). Government has allocated additional funding to LEASE to provide independent, free, initial advice to leaseholders on building safety issues to ensure they are aware of their rights and are supported to understand the terms of their leases. More information on LEASE, including how to contact them for advice, is available here: https://www.lease-advice.org/.
