Buildings: Insulation

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what recent assessment she has made of the adequacy of the progress of building remediation work at The Decks in Runcorn.

Answered by Alex Norris

We expect developers that signed the developer remediation contract with government to meet their obligation to remediate buildings for which they are responsible as quickly as reasonably practicable.

Taylor Wimpey, the developer of The Decks, has advised us that remedial works are expected to commence shortly, following recent execution of a legal agreement between relevant parties.

The Ministry monitors progress closely. Any developer that fails to comply with its obligations faces significant consequences.
