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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what recent discussions he has had with representatives of the insurance industry on premiums for buildings affected by fire and building safety issues.

The Government continues to work with the insurance industry to press for fair and proportionate premiums for leaseholders living in buildings with fire safety issues.

The Government expects the industry to launch their risk sharing scheme as a matter of urgency, and departmental officials and I continue to correspond and meet the Association of British Insurers and industry to make this clear.
