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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether he plans to reopen applications to the Building Safety Fund for buildings which did not submit an application by the deadline of 31 July 2020; and whether building managers can apply to the fund in the event that they missed that deadline.

The additional £3.5 billion of funding we have announced, along with the funding we have already committed for ACM remediation and the Building Safety Fund for non-ACM remediation, is intended to fully fund the cost of replacing unsafe cladding for all leaseholders in residential buildings 18 metres and over in England. We will publish more details on how the additional funding will work alongside the existing funds soon.
