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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what progress has been made on supporting a joint working group with lenders, valuers and the industry focussing on modern methods of construction; and when the first meeting of that group will be held.

Following publication of the White Paper my officials have met with lenders, valuers, warranty providers and insurers across the industry to get a better understanding of their current processes for homes built using modern methods of construction, and identify areas where these could be improved.

The joint working group will meet for the first time later this year.
