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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what recent progress he has made on cladding and non-cladding remediation for residential buildings in Portsmouth South constituency.

As at 31 January 2023, a total of 10 residential buildings over 18 metres in height in the constituency of Portsmouth South have been identified as having unsafe Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding or have been deemed eligible for the Building Safety Fund due to the presence of unsafe non-ACM cladding.

Remediation work has started or been completed on 6 of these buildings.

We will continue to work to improve buildings with cladding issues across the country over the coming months.
