The number of buildings which will receive funding will depend on the applications received. We estimate up to 153 may be available. This number will reduce depending on the number of developers who agree not to draw down the fund</p><p><br> I am pleased to report that many owners and developers including Taylor Wimpey, Legal &amp; General, Mace Group, Lendlease, Barratt Developments and Aberdeen Standard Investments, have agreed to maintain their commitments to meet the cost of remediation without the recourse to the fund.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 02/07/2019 13:29:25 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse previous answer version 122001 answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

Advice Note 14 was published in 2017 and updated in December 2018. The advice note provides a decision tree that directs them to seek professional help and consider remediation measures if they do not have the necessary evidence that a cladding system is safe. The full advice note reiterates that the clearest way to ensure safety is to remove the unsafe materials and is available at the following <br> <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.publishing.service.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fuploads%2Fsystem%2Fuploads%2Fattachment_data%2Ffile%2F765761%2FExpert_Panel_advice_note_on_non-ACM.pdf&amp;data=02%7C01%7CCharles-Elie.Romeyer%40communities.gov.uk%7C1cf35da0b9ed4e0d2b6c08d6f9888d74%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C636970762209231658&amp;sdata=WX61gaD5lbk8IJS9XqtMK4AzE9P1vxKeY%2Biycw5U29E%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/765761/Expert_Panel_advice_note_on_non-ACM.pdf </a> <br> <br> Acting on advice from the Independent Expert Advisory Panel, the Government has commissioned research to support further understanding of the fire performance of non-ACM external wall systems, this includes a number of High Pressure Laminate systems of varying composition.
