Building Safety Regulator
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps she is taking to ensure that the building safety regulator is sufficiently resourced to adequately perform its functions.
Answered by Alex Norris
MHCLG remain committed to ensuring the BSR are properly funded to deliver the most significant changes to building safety for generations. The BSR’s mission is to protect people and places, stewarding a built environment where buildings are long-lasting and confidence is restored in residents’ safety and the competence of the sector.
The BSR has been building capacity and developing operational functions to deliver its statutory duties under the Building Safety Act 2022. We have ramped up work with local authorities and regulators to speed up remediation and will set out a Remediation Acceleration plan shortly. Funding provided to the BSR remains in line with best regulatory practice, taking a transparent and proportionate approach to deliver this mission.
