To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether a five storey building meets the criteria for Homes England to provide funding for essential cladding remediation works, irrespective of the building's height.

Homes England may provide funding for cladding remediation works through the Cladding Safety Scheme where a building meets the eligibility criteria for that scheme. The published criteria state that eligible residential buildings must be over 11 metres in height.
