<p>The Government is providing £5.1 billion, including £4.5 billion through the Building
Safety Fund, to address the fire safety risks caused by unsafe cladding on high-rise
residential buildings. This will be used where the original developer and/or the building
owner are not funding the works. On 13 April, the Department announced that leading
residential developers had pledged to remediate life critical fire safety works in
buildings over 11 metres that they have played a role in developing or refurbishing
over the last 30 years in England. As of 13 June, over 45 have signed the pledge.
<br> <br> Developers making this commitment have also agreed to reimburse any funding
received from government remediation programmes in relation to buildings they had
a role in developing or refurbishing. This action will make sure that funding grants
will only be used where there is no industry solution available and there should be
no need for additional funding from the tax payer.</p>
