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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many completion certificate applications to the Building Safety Regulator were withdrawn at the applicants request in each month between October 2023 and April 2025 under regulation 40 of the Building (Higher-Risk Buildings Procedures) (England) Regulations 2023.

The Department and the Building Safety Regulator recognise the value to the sector in providing performance data. The BSR will shortly be publishing quarterly data demonstrating the volumes of applications received, recorded outcomes and decision times for determination.
