answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2023 answer text <p>This government has delivered the most substantive reforms to building safety in nearly 40 years and leaseholders have been given significant legal protections from unfair remediation bills. All residential buildings above 11 metres in England now have a pathway to fix unsafe cladding, either through a taxpayer-funded scheme or through a developer-funded scheme. Following intensive talks with the home-building sector, we have a solution that is seeing industry take responsibility for fixing fire safety defects. Where developers or building owners are not currently funding cladding remediation, the Government has committed £5.1 billion of taxpayer money to ensure that people are safe in their homes.</p><p>The Building Safety Act 2022 created extensive new financial protections for leaseholders in buildings above 11 metres or five storeys with historical safety defects. Responsibility for undertaking remedial works and paying for the works in the majority of cases will rest with the building owner. In turn they can seek to secure funding for required works from those responsible for the defects. Where this is not possible, we expect the freeholders to meet the costs. I refer the Hon Member to my statement of 16 November entitled Building Safety Update (<a href="https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2023-11-16/debates/23111633000010/BuildingSafetyUpdate" target="_blank">Official Report HC, Volume 740, Column 56WS</a>) for further information on the progress made to fix residential buildings over 11 metres with unsafe cladding in England.</p> answering member constituency North East Derbyshire answering member printed Lee Rowley question first answered 19/12/2023 17:30:38 answering member 4652 label Biography information for Lee Rowley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2016 answer text <p>Government policies focused on delivering home insulation supported investment of around £7.4bn on energy efficiency measures<sup>1</sup> over the last parliament (including some spend prior to 2010). This included spending of £2.9bn on the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) and Green Deal<sup>2</sup>, £3.8bn on the Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT), and £0.7bn on the Community Energy Saving Programme (CESP)<sup>3,4</sup>.</p><p> </p><p>The Green Deal comprised a number of different delivery mechanisms including: Green Deal Finance Plans, where the costs of measures are paid back through energy bills over a period of time; the Cashback scheme and Home Improvement Fund, which provided incentives to consumers to install measures; and Green Deal Communities, which provided additional funding for local authority energy efficiency schemes. These were funded through exchequer spending. ECO, CERT and CESP were obligations on energy suppliers (and generators in CESP), which provided energy efficiency measures to domestic households. While not direct Government investment, these were funded by obligated energy companies in order to achieve their statutory targets.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><em><sup>1</sup></em><em> Supporting costs by measure type are not available, so it is not possible to provide spend on insulation measures specifically. </em></p><p><em><sup>2</sup> Source: Green Deal and ECO stats <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/household-energy-efficiency-national-statistics-headline-release-february-2016" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/household-energy-efficiency-national-statistics-headline-release-february-2016</a> </em></p><p><em><sup>3 </sup>Please note that as CERT ran from April 2008 – December 2012, and CESP from Sept 2009 – December 2012, these include some spend prior to 2010. </em></p><p><em><sup>4</sup> Source CERT Evaluation <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/evaluation-of-the-carbon-emissions-reduction-target-and-community-energy-saving-programme" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/evaluation-of-the-carbon-emissions-reduction-target-and-community-energy-saving-programme</a></em> <em>(figures adjusted for inflation)</em></p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 15/03/2016 16:02:56 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
