	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what steps his Department is taking to prevent insurers (a) refusing to quote on building insurance cover and (b) charging excessive increases in the premium due to a lack of remediation on buildings under 11 metres which have a B1 fire risk assessment rating.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2024 answer text <p>The Government continues to actively encourage the insurance industry to take action where significantly inflated insurance costs are apparent. I regularly meet the sector, and its representatives, to press the case for an industry-led solution on this matter and I hope we will hear further, long-awaited news from the industry shortly on this matter. Specifically on buildings under 11m, it is generally accepted that life safety risk is proportional to the height of buildings.   The risk to life from historical fire safety defects is lower in buildings under 11m, therefore building safety related remediation works are required in a very small number of buildings under 11m. Whilst individual premium rates are ultimately a matter for insurers, it follows that such rates should be proportionate to the risk.</p> answering member constituency North East Derbyshire answering member printed Lee Rowley question first answered 09/02/2024 12:50:28 answering member 4652 label Biography information for Lee Rowley

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2023 answer text <p>This government has delivered the most substantive reforms to building safety in nearly 40 years and leaseholders have been given significant legal protections from unfair remediation bills. All residential buildings above 11 metres in England now have a pathway to fix unsafe cladding, either through a taxpayer-funded scheme or through a developer-funded scheme. Following intensive talks with the home-building sector, we have a solution that is seeing industry take responsibility for fixing fire safety defects. Where developers or building owners are not currently funding cladding remediation, the Government has committed £5.1 billion of taxpayer money to ensure that people are safe in their homes.</p><p>The Building Safety Act 2022 created extensive new financial protections for leaseholders in buildings above 11 metres or five storeys with historical safety defects. Responsibility for undertaking remedial works and paying for the works in the majority of cases will rest with the building owner. In turn they can seek to secure funding for required works from those responsible for the defects. Where this is not possible, we expect the freeholders to meet the costs. I refer the Hon Member to my statement of 16 November entitled Building Safety Update (<a href="https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2023-11-16/debates/23111633000010/BuildingSafetyUpdate" target="_blank">Official Report HC, Volume 740, Column 56WS</a>) for further information on the progress made to fix residential buildings over 11 metres with unsafe cladding in England.</p> answering member constituency North East Derbyshire answering member printed Lee Rowley question first answered 19/12/2023 17:30:38 answering member 4652 label Biography information for Lee Rowley

There are, however, significant protections that apply to all leaseholders. All leaseholders in buildings of at least 11 metres or five storeys are protected from all historical safety remediation costs if their landlord is, or is associated with, the developer, or where the developer has signed our developer remediation contract; they will also benefit from qualifying status for their principal residence if it is in such a building. In addition, remediation contribution orders and the Defective Premises Act enable leaseholders in relevant buildings to attempt to recover remediation costs from those responsible, whatever the qualifying status of the leaseholder.</p> answering member constituency North East Derbyshire answering member printed Lee Rowley question first answered 25/09/2023 14:29:04 answering member 4652 label Biography information for Lee Rowley
