answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2019 answer text <p>Government intervention to provide funding to speed up the removal of unsafe ACM (Aluminium Composite Material) cladding is wholly exceptional. This is based on the unparalleled fire risk ACM poses. The Government has consistently made clear that building safety is the responsibility of the building owner. We have published guidance to reiterate the importance of building owners assessing their buildings and ensuring that non-ACM cladding systems are safe. Advice Note 14, published in 2017 and updated in December 2018, reiterates that the clearest way to ensure safety is to remove unsafe materials. <br> <br> <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/765761/Expert_Panel_advice_note_on_non-ACM.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/765761/Expert_Panel_advice_note_on_non-ACM.pdf</a></p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 20/06/2019 14:50:04 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

uin	265495
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2019 answer text <p>The Department does not hold comprehensive data on planned completion dates for the remediation of ACM (Aluminium Composite Material) buildings. The Government has provided £600 million funding to remove unsafe ACM cladding from high rise residential buildings in the social and private sector. This will remove the biggest blocker to progress on remediation in these buildings. However, it is important to recognise remediation work cannot be done overnight, and it must be done properly. 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 want buildings to be remediated as quickly as possible and we will be closely monitoring the work as it progresses.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 20/06/2019 14:46:38 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2019 answer text <p>Nothing is more important than ensuring people are safe in their homes. Residents’ voices need to be heard to ensure proper standards are maintained and that where things are going wrong they are picked up and addressed. We want to ensure that there is a coherent and consistent approach to regulation to deliver these objectives, and achieve the best deal for tenants and landlords. Our review of social housing regulation is exploring the most appropriate way of doing so, and we will publish the results of that review in due course.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse grouped question UIN 264769 question first answered 20/06/2019 14:31:40 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse previous answer version 124057 answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
