The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment her Department has made of the effectiveness of the Fire Safety Reinsurance Facility.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Government will monitor the impact of the industry-led Fire Safety Reinsurance Facility on buildings insurance premiums and competition in the market.

We understand the financial and emotional impact that extreme insurance premiums are having on leaseholders, and will review how to better protect leaseholders from costs and push for fair premiums for leaseholders in buildings with fire safety issues.
