Buildings: Safety

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to bring forward legislative proposals to introduce a building safety levy.

Answered by Rushanara Ali

Yes. The Building Safety Act 2022 gives the Secretary of State powers to make regulations which charge a levy on building control applications for the purpose of meeting building safety expenditure. We will bring forward regulations to make sure that those responsible for the building safety crisis pay to put it right.
