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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, with reference to his Department's web page entitled Building Safety Remediation data releases, updated on 18 April 2024, what his expected completion date is for the removal of cladding from the 28 occupied buildings over 18 metres with ACM cladding.

The department will continue to pursue a range of initiatives to seek remediation at the earliest date. The Honourable Gentleman will be aware, from the document he quotes in his questions, that the length of time to conclude remediation will depend upon the number of responsible entities that start remediation in a timely manner and how many will need to be compelled to do so. The Government will continue to take action to make progress on remediation.
