PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
High Rise Flats: Insulation (14 May 2019)

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will put in place a deadline by which ACM cladding will have been removed from (a) private and (b) social housing blocks.

Asked by:
Mr Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi (Labour)

On 9 May, Government announced its commitment to fully fund the remediation of private sector high-rise residential blocks (above 18 metres) with unsafe Aluminium Composite Material cladding, except where a warranty claim has been accepted. This will allow remediation to happen quickly. We continue to put pressure on building owners and developers to make their buildings permanently safe as swiftly as possible.

We are not expecting any further applications from social sector building owners but we will still accept applications from any building owners who require funding.
