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

What steps he is taking to protect leaseholders from the costs of remediating buildings from unsafe cladding.

We have made available an unprecedented £5 billion investment in building safety, including £3.5 billion announced last week. This will fund the cost of replaying unsafe cladding in all buildings 18 metres and over.

Lower-rise buildings will gain new protection from the costs of cladding removal through a Government-backed financing arrangement, and no leaseholder will ever pay more than £50 a month towards the removal of unsafe cladding.
