answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2019 answer text <p>MHCLG do not hold comprehensive data on planned completion dates for the remediation of Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) buildings. The private sector remediation fund, announced on 9 May, will remove the biggest blocker to progress on remediation in the private residential 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 17/06/2019 16:44:50 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
