Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the total number of buildings that are eligible for funding from the Building Safety Fund.
The estimated 1,700 residential buildings over 18m in height with potentially unsafe non-ACM cladding is a working estimate produced by MHCLG officials to help with development of the Building Safety Fund.
The estimate is continuously under review as we receive further information from building owners and local authorities and housing associations. A refined estimate is due to be published in due course and will also be informed by the data we will gather from building owners following opening of registration for the Building Safety Fund on 1 June 2020.
