answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2019 answer text <p>Unsafe Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding poses a particularly high risk on High Rise Residential Buildings. This is why the Government has set aside £600 million (£200 million for private buildings and up to £400 million for social buildings) for remediation of ACM cladding systems.</p><p>Non-ACM cladding systems or other structural works which are not directly related to the remediation of ACM cladding systems will not be part of the fund.</p><p>The Government has consistently made clear that building safety is the responsibility of the building owner and this includes acting if they have other cladding which they cannot confirm is safe – detailed advice is contained in Government Advice Note 14 published in December 2017 and revised in December 2018. <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><p>My Department has also established a research project to test and improve the evidence available on the behaviour of a range of non-ACM materials used in cladding systems when subjected to fire. I refer the Hon Member to the written statement made by the Secretary of State on 1 May 2019 (HCWS1533 Building Safety Update).</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 11/06/2019 09:35:48 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the remediation of ACM cladding on privately-owned residential buildings, how many owners of such buildings (a) the Government has contacted directly to communicate the Government's expectation that leaseholders will be financially protected from the costs of such remediation, (b) have replied to that correspondence and (c) have said that they will financially protect leaseholders from the cost of such remediation.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>I have written to all private sector building owners who are currently committed to passing on costs to leaseholders to make clear my strong expectation that leaseholders should be protected from costs. However, too many building owners have failed to take responsibility for ensuring these buildings are permanently remediated swiftly, and at no cost to leaseholders. I have therefore concluded that it is imperative for the Government to act. On 9 May we announced a fund for the remediation of unsafe Aluminium Composite Material cladding on all high-rise (over 18 metres) residential private sector buildings in England. It will allow remediation to happen quickly, it will restore peace of mind and it will allow residents living in these blocks to get on with their lives.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 13/05/2019 13:26:52 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
