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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, pursuant to the Answer of 22 July 2021 to Question 35504 on Building Safety Fund: Leeds, what the public safety grounds are for not listing buildings with unsafe cladding asked for in that Question.

As set out in my answer to Question UIN 35504 on 22 July 2021, the position of the Government is not to reveal the identity of high-rise residential buildings with unsafe cladding system. We need to be careful not to expose residents to greater risk on safety grounds such as from the risk of arson, and respect that some residents may prefer that their building with unsafe cladding is not publicly identified. However, we recognise that some buildings may have already been identified by others and are already in the public domain.
