High Rise Flats: Insulation

Asked by Mrs Kemi BadenochConservativeMinistry of Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentTabled Answered 29 July 2024UIN 815

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to speed up cladding remediation programmes.

Answered by Alex Norris

The pace of remediation through Government funded schemes is not fast enough and we are committed to ensuring pace increases. We will continuously monitor the system, identify opportunities to increase speed, and intensify efforts to bring all remaining buildings into remediation schemes. We will address barriers within the system, including enforcing actions against uncooperative parties. We will empower regulators and local authorities to act, continue taking direct Government action, and consider new legislation as necessary.
