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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of the timeframe for the submission of applications to the Building Safety Fund.

The Government extended the full tender deadline for Building Safety Fund to 30 June 2021. This deadline has been set based on what we now know about registrants and their readiness to be able to deliver projects. The announcement on 10 February of an additional £3.5 billion of funding provides assurance for residents that all eligible applications to the Building Safety Fund will be able to proceed.
