answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2019 answer text <p>It is the responsibility of local authorities under the Housing Act 2004 to assess the risk of a hazard in residential housing, including the risk of hazard posed by aluminium composite material (ACM) cladding on private sector high-rise residential buildings. The powers to undertake assessments and carry out enforcement action under the Act and the Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) rest with local authorities rather than the Government. Environmental health officers are employed by local authorities. The Government has funded the Local Government Association to host a Joint Inspection Team to provide advice and support to local authorities with such assessments. This team includes environmental health officers.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 08/04/2019 15:07:45 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2018 answer text <p>We have written to owners of buildings with dangerous Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) which have no clear remediation plan in place and to those who have suggested that they will pass remediation costs to leaseholders. We have reminded them of their responsibilities for the safety of residents and of the Secretary of State’s expectation that leaseholders should be protected from these costs. <br> <br> We have also highlighted that, where building owners do not take action, local authorities have extensive enforcement powers to ensure that this necessary remediation work is undertaken. In addition, we have recently written to private sector building owners with high-rise buildings that contain small or partial amounts of cladding to inform them that the Expert Panel have advised that the clearest way to ensure the safety of residents is to remove all ACM, including small or partial areas, and replace it with a safe material.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 03/12/2018 16:26:30 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
