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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what plans she has to improve engagement and communication with residents of buildings undergoing remediation works as part of new plans to reform leasehold rules for residential buildings.

The Code of Practice for the Remediation of Residential Buildings has been developed with residents, industry, and government bodies to ensure that its expectations are appropriate and deliverable, and all remediation programmes are working to drive compliance. We continue to work across government and with industry bodies on supporting the Code’s implementation and we have launched a Resident Representative Survey to understand the resident experience of remediation, including with the Code of Practice, across all schemes.

We continue to consider the resident experience in remediation, and we will keep the Code of Practice under review. Where there are significant new or emerging developments, the Code will be updated.
