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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether his Department has made an assessment of the likely costs of all works required as a result of the Building Safety Act 2022.

Our assessment of impacts for the Building Safety Act 2022 does not include an estimate of the cost of works resulting directly from the Act and no other estimate has been made.

The Building Safety Act 2022 does not require new works to be conducted; it strengthens powers to require the carrying out of outstanding works which should have already been conducted to ensure compliance with building regulations and building safety.
