Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment his Department have made of the impact of (a) labour shortages and (b) the supply chain on the length of time taken to remediate building safety faults on residential flats.

Building safety faults can be wide ranging and varied in scope, and projects can vary considerably in the time taken to complete.

From the outset of the Building Safety Fund, the Department has engaged industry. We have provided direct expert support to projects, run a series of market engagements, and have also supported industry bodies such as the Construction Leadership Council.
