	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>The private sector remediation fund, announced on 9 May, will remove the biggest block to progress on remediation in the private residential buildings. However, the time to complete work varies considerably depending on the factors such as structure, extent of cladding, and existing fire safety systems. For many buildings this is a complex job involving major construction work. We will be closely monitoring the work as it progresses. We are also supporting local authorities to take enforcement action where building owners are refusing to remediate, including through the Joint Inspection Team.</p> question first answered 21/06/2019 10:49:23

	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>The Building Regulations energy performance standards are deliberately couched in performance terms and do not prescribe the technologies, materials or fuels to be used, allowing builders the flexibility to innovate and select the most appropriate solutions for the circumstances. For example, many roofs are not suitable for solar photovoltaic (PV) panels because of building orientation, roof design, or over shading. We do, however, plan to consult on uplifting the energy efficiency standards of the building regulations in the coming months, including those for new non-domestic buildings.</p> question first answered 26/06/2019 12:15:12
