	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2019 answer text <p>The government has consistently made clear that building safety is the responsibility of the building owner. Government intervention to provide funding for the removal of unsafe Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding is wholly exceptional, based on the unparalleled fire risk ACM poses.</p><p>Government intervention does not remove responsibility for overall building safety from the building owners, and if other fire safety risks are uncovered they must remedy them. Building owners should consider all routes to meet costs, protecting residents where they can – for example through warranties and recovering costs from contractors for incorrect or poor work. The government consulted between June and July on building safety reforms and sought views on ways in which remediation costs could be mitigated. We are considering responses currently and will set out our conclusions by the end of the year.</p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 25/10/2019 15:14:23 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey previous answer version 1532 answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2019 answer text <p>Our Clean Air Strategy, published in January 2019, proposes a comprehensive suite of actions required across all parts of Government to improve air quality and maximise public health benefits. This includes national regulations to reduce emissions from domestic burning, industry and farming, alongside an improved framework for local Government to tackle more localised issues. By implementing the policies in the strategy, we aim to reduce fine particulate matter concentrations and halve the number of people living in areas above the World Health Organisation guideline level for fine particulate matter by 2025.</p><p> </p><p>The measures in the Environment Bill take forward key aspects of this strategy, and give local authorities more effective tools for tackling domestic burning in smoke control areas, which will help reduce harmful particulate matter pollution. Through the Bill, we will also introduce a framework for setting legally binding environmental targets, along with a specific duty on Government to set a target for fine particulate matter, which will deliver significant public health benefits.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 25/10/2019 10:41:59 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
