PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Buildings: Repairs and Maintenance (16 May 2022)

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what steps his Department is taking to increase the supply of (a) scaffolding and (b) scaffolders required to remediate buildings with dangerous cladding in London.

Asked by:
Dr Rosena Allin-Khan (Labour)

The Department is supporting industry in responding to the challenge of making sure buildings with unsafe cladding are remediated at pace including consideration of ways to address capacity issues across the sector. We are continually engaging with delivery partners and contractors to monitor constraint issues in the construction market, including scaffolding, and work to mitigate against the impact of market capacity issues on the remediation programmes.
