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

What estimate he has made of the number of buildings with dangerous cladding or other fire defects that (a) will miss the deadline and (b) are ineligible for the Building Safety Fund.

All eligible applications currently made to the Building Safety Fund will proceed, and we are working with applicants to ensure work gets underway as soon as possible.

For any buildings that may have missed the original registration deadline we will be reopening for registrations in the Autumn.

This will ensure we meet our commitment to fully fund the cost of replacing unsafe cladding for all leaseholders in residential buildings 18 metres and over in England.
