PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(29 June 2026)

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment has been made of the potential impact of cladding remediation costs in buildings under 11 metres in height on leaseholders.

Asked by:
Janet Daby (Labour)

We recognise the difficulties facing some leaseholders in buildings under 11 metres who are being asked to pay significant cladding remediation costs. The Department’s investigations indicate that most buildings under 11 metres are safe and do not require cladding remediation, with risks often able to be addressed through lower-cost mitigations. However, as set out in the Remediation Acceleration Plan update, we remain committed to providing funding in specific circumstances where cladding remediation is needed to address life-critical fire safety risks from cladding. We intend to provide an update on this shortly.
