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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, when he plans to make a decision on the application to the Building Safety Fund in respect of the Basilica on King Charles Street in Leeds.

The Department has awarded £395,586 in pre-tender support funding to the applicant for the Basilica Building. This is advance funding to help the applicant to undertake the design, specification and tendering required to start the remediation works. It is now for the applicant to take swift action, appoint a professional team, develop the works specification, go out to tender and get the building fixed.
