Building Safety (Remediation of Unsafe Cladding etc) Bill

The following extract is from the debate on the Building Safety (Remediation of Unsafe Cladding etc) Bill on 27 October 2026.

[Florence Eshalomi]

…The hon. Member for Bristol Central (Carla Denyer) detailed the tragic case of her 97-year-old constituent, who is having to rely on her children to buy her property to give her some certainty. They are now lumbered with a property that they cannot sell—simply for doing the right thing for their parent. No child should have to go through that process and face those costs. That is why we are making sure that the developers are paying for the work with the developer remediation fund.

[Official Report, 27 October 2026; Vol. 792, c. 263.]

Written correction submitted by the Minister for Homelessness, Democracy, Communities and Faith, the hon. Member for Vauxhall and Camberwell Green (Florence Eshalomi):
