Buildings: Safety
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many completion certificate applications to the Building Safety Regulator were withdrawn at the applicants request in each month between October 2023 and April 2025 under regulation 40 of the Building (Higher-Risk Buildings Procedures) (England) Regulations 2023.
