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

What steps he is taking to protect leaseholders from the costs of remediating dangerous buildings.

We have announced that an additional £3.5 billion in funding will be provided by the Government to remediate unsafe cladding, bringing the total investment to building safety to an unprecedented £5 billion. We are also establishing a generous financing scheme which will allow buildings between 11 and 18 metres in height to access finance for the remediation of dangerous cladding. Leaseholders will pay no more than £50 per month.
