This replicates the scope of the social sector fund that has been operational since last year. Non ACM cladding systems or other structural works not directly related to the remediation of ACM cladding systems will not be part of the fund. 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 and very real public safety concerns.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 05/06/2019 16:27:48 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
