answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2021 answer text <p>We must ensure that the remediation of unsafe cladding systems is not delayed by funding shortfalls. This is why when Government funding is being used for cladding remediation, the applicant must ensure they have funds for ineligible works, if these are being performed as part of the same project. If the applicant chooses to perform other fire safety works as separate projects, this will not affect the payment of funding for cladding remediation.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 25/02/2021 17:07:02 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
