answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2020 answer text <p>In May 2018, the Government made £400 million available to social sector landlords to fund the removal and replacement of unsafe ACM cladding on high-rise residential social housing buildings.</p><p>It became clear that too many private sector building owners were failing to take responsibility to ensure their buildings were made permanently safe, and at no cost to leaseholders. Therefore, the Government committed £200 million for the removal and replacement of unsafe ACM cladding on private sector residential high-rise buildings.</p><p>This funding will remove that barrier. Government intervention to provide funding for the removal of unsafe ACM cladding is wholly exceptional. It is based on the unparalleled fire risk ACM poses, the very real public safety concerns and the abject failure of many building owners to do the right thing by their residents.</p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 12/02/2020 12:30:57 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2020 answer text <p>Government has committed £600 million to remediate high-rise residential buildings with unsafe ACM cladding. This Government intervention is wholly exceptional. It is based on the unparalleled fire risk ACM poses at this height. <br> <br> Building safety is the responsibility of the building owner, and they must remedy any safety risks. Building owners should consider all routes to meet costs, protecting leaseholders where they can – for example through warranties and recovering costs from contractors for poor work. <br> <br> However, we do not want the cost to be a barrier to remediation, so the Department is considering options to support leaseholders with Her Majesty’s Treasury. Building Owners should be transparent about any remediation plans with lenders and managing agents.</p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 12/02/2020 12:31:33 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
