Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what process he has established to update (a) local authorities and (b) leaseholders on which building owners or freeholders have applied to the Building Safety Fund.

As set out in the Building Safety Fund Application Guidance, an applicant to the Fund is required to inform all leaseholders and residents that they will be applying for funding. Applicants should also inform leaseholders and residents of the nature of the works intended to be carried out and should provide them with regular updates on the progress of the funding application and remediation works. Where a building is determined as eligible for the fund the Department provides the details to the relevant local authority.
