answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/02/2020 answer text <p>Government intervention to fund the removal and replacement of unsafe ACM cladding is wholly exceptional. It is based on the unparalleled fire risk ACM poses. That is why, to date, Government has committed £600 million to the removal and replacement of unsafe ACM on high rise residential buildings.</p><p>We are aware of concerns leaseholders have about meeting the cost of remediation of fire safety issues other than ACM cladding remediation. Building safety is the responsibility of the building owner, and they should consider all routes to meet costs, protecting leaseholders where they can – for example through warranties and recovering costs from contractors for incorrect or poor work.</p><p>Government continues to ensure these fire safety risks are remediated as quickly as possible, including through stronger enforcement and tackling costs for leaseholders. We therefore stand ready to take further steps to ensure necessary remediation happens at pace.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 24/02/2020 17:55:03 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
