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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 10 January 2025 to Question 21356 on Tri Fire, what proportion of (a) pre-remediation fire risk appraisals of the external walls and (b) post-remediation qualifying assessments that were carried out by Trifire for buildings under the Developer Remediation Contract scheme have been audited by the Department.

The Ministry has begun auditing developer assessments and we will be issuing results in greater volumes over the next few months. We also intend to start publishing data about the audits later this year as part of our quarterly remediation data releases. If a relevant assessment obtained by a developer does not meet the standards set out in the developer remediation contract, the developer would be obligated to address the matter.
