It is important in some respects to direct funding to areas where there is the greatest affordability challenge, but any government that wants to level up must also direct infrastructure investment for housing to other parts of the country as well, and we will be bearing this in mind going forward.</p><p>As we respond to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, I agree we need to take a fresh look at how all corners of the country can prosper and benefit from the funding they need, building on the action we've already taken through the £3.6 billion Towns Fund, £400 million Brownfield Fund, and £900 million Getting Building Fund.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 05/10/2020 16:48:04 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2022 answer text <p>The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities is prioritising remediation on the highest risk buildings. After the Grenfell tragedy, the Government identified the high-rise buildings with the highest risk ACM cladding and made sure that interim measures were installed to reassure and protect residents while remediation of those building is taken forward.</p><p>Government funding is targeted to high rise buildings (18 metres and over) with ACM and other forms of unsafe cladding. The fire risk is lower in buildings under 18 metres and costly remediation work is usually not needed. Where fire risks are identified, they should always be managed proportionately.  The Government has therefore focused its financial support on high-rise residential buildings over 18 metres because we know that the risk to multiple households is greater when fire does spread in buildings of this height. As the Secretary of State said in his announcement on Monday 10 January, taxpayers should not be funding the remediation of 11-18 metres buildings. It is for industry to develop a solution to this problem and ensure that leaseholders living in their own flats in medium buildings do not pay a penny to remediate historic cladding defects that are no fault of their own. That is why we are asking the industry to step up and agree how they can fund cladding remediation in the next two-three months. Detailed information on which buildings are eligible for Government funding can be found in Prospectus Annex A: Technical Information of the Building Safety Fund Prospectus, available at: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fguidance%2Fremediation-of-non-acm-buildings%23prospectus---outlining-eligibility-for-the-fund&amp;data=04%7C01%7CParliamentary%40communities.gov.uk%7Cbcba84742c21405ac9fc08d9d5eba0ce%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C637776030246846084%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;sdata=sTdPhfripI2l0KLmMpNJR7oEgul8X8%2BWN4V8r4%2B6ls8%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/guidance/remediation-of-non-acm-buildings#prospectus---outlining-eligibility-for-the-fund</a>.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 12/01/2022 17:30:25 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
