	uin	41167
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/05/2020 answer text <p>Leaseholder and tenant safety is at the core of the Governments work on building safety. We have been in regular contact with tenants and leaseholders and/or organisations representing them about unsafe non-Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding in high-rise residential buildings. These exchanges contributed to the announcement in the Budget of the £1 billion Building Safety Fund. This included a roundtable between leaseholders and the Secretary of State shortly before the announcement of the Building Safety Fund where he heard directly the issues they face and engagement will continue as the work on the Fund develops.</p><p>The Fund will support the removal and replacement of unsafe non- ACM cladding in high-rise residential buildings and will therefore benefit leaseholders and tenants in those buildings. However, it is the responsible entity for the building, such as an eligible building freeholder or management company, who will need to register for the Fund when it opens and leaseholders or tenants should contact their responsible entity about their specific building and registering. The Government has also allocated additional funding to Leasehold Advisory Service (LEASE) to provide independent, free, initial advice to leaseholders on building safety issues to ensure they are aware of their rights and are supported to understand the terms of their leases. LEASE will act as the point of contact for leaseholders with questions about the fund when it opens.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 11/05/2020 13:18:42 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/05/2020 answer text <p>The Government intends to start the scope of the new regulatory regime to cover: all multi-occupied residential buildings of 18 metres or more in height, or more than six stories – whichever is reached first. The reason for using both height and number of storeys is to address concerns, raised during the public consultation, regarding the potential for developers to build just under the height threshold. The Government intends to expand the scope of the regime over time, based on evidence of risk.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 06/05/2020 10:14:17 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
