PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Housing: Insulation (18 February 2022)

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what financial support is available for residential blocks under 11 metres whose building owners or property managers are carrying out cladding remediation works.

Asked by:
Fleur Anderson (Labour)

The fire risk is lower in buildings under 18 metres and costly remediation work is usually not needed.  Where fire risks are identified, they should always be managed proportionately.  The Government has therefore focussed its financial support on high-rise residential buildings over 18 metres because we know that the risk to multiple households is greater when fire does spread in buildings of this height. The Building Safety Bill will deliver improvements across the entire built environment, including for buildings under 11 metres.
