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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will extend the deadline for applications to the Building Safety Fund to 31 July 2020.

Registration for the Building Safety Fund opened 1 June and closes on 31 July. Guidance for the application process will be published later this month. To submit a full application buildings must be registered with the scheme. The registration process is straightforward and there should be no reason that a building owner who believes their building is eligible for funding should not be able to register before the end of the registration period.
