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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the Answer of 19 April 2021 to Question 175876 on fire safety costs, when information on the (a) eligibility, (b) application process and (c) timeframe for issuing loans to leaseholders for fire safety works in buildings under 18 metres will be published.

The Government will fund the remediation of unsafe cladding on buildings over 18 metres. In lower rise buildings of 11-18 metres, with a lower risk to safety, leaseholders will gain new protection from the costs of cladding removal through a financing scheme that will limit repayments so that leaseholders will never pay more than £50 a month. Further details of this scheme will be made available as soon as we are in a position to do so.
