(asked on 25th January 2018) - View Source

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

To ask Her Majesty's Government how much money they have paid to local authorities since the Grenfell Tower fire to help with the recladding of tower blocks.


This question was answered on 7th February 2018

We have provided financial support to local authorities for data collection and reporting on cladding on high rise private residential buildings. The total amount transferred to local authorities was £289,000.

The government will also consider financial flexibilities for local authorities to undertake essential fire safety work to make buildings safe. We have not turned down any requests for such flexibilities.

Building owners are responsible for funding fire safety measures.
