Written Question
Housing: Insulation
Monday 24th January 2022

Asked by: Robert Neill (Conservative - Bromley and Chislehurst)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what steps his Department is taking to support people affected by a rise in insurance premiums as a result of living in buildings with unsafe cladding.

Answered by Lord Gove

We are working with the insurance industry to address the challenges experienced by leaseholders facing increasing building insurance costs.

Ministers continue to press insurers to take a proportionate approach to pricing insurance.
