answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2022 answer text <p>On 13 April, the Government announced that residential developers had pledged to remediate life-critical fire safety defects in buildings over 11 metres that they played a role in developing or refurbishing over the past 30 years. Those developers also agreed to refund money paid out by existing taxpayer-funded remediation schemes to fix buildings that they originally developed, and that further funding from those schemes would not be used to fix buildings they had a role in developing, so that this money can be used to pay for fixing other buildings. Those commitments by the developers are estimated to be worth around £2 billion. As of 13 June, over 45 of the largest developers have signed the pledge and we are working to convert the pledges into legally binding contractual commitments.</p><p>In addition, the Government has committed to extend the building safety levy on industry in order to raise an estimated £3 billion to pay for remediating buildings for which the developer cannot be identified or held responsible. The Residential Property Tax which was announced at last year's budget and is a 4% tax on the largest most profitable developers, is expected to raise at least £2 billion over the next 10 years to help pay for building safety remediation</p><p><br>In total, this puts the expected funding raised over this period in the region of £7 billion, though this may increase.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 16/06/2022 17:06:08 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
