We are clear that unsafe ACM cladding must be replaced swiftly. Where insufficient progress is being made, building owners can expect further action to be taken, including enforcement. <br> <br> In the Queen’s Speech, the Government announced legislation which will put beyond doubt that the Fire Safety Order applies to external walls (including cladding) and individual flat entrance doors in multi-occupied residential buildings. This will affirm Fire and Rescue Services’ enforcement role for these buildings.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 20/03/2020 12:47:15 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2020 answer text <p>The £600 million funding which the Government has allocated for the remediation of buildings with unsafe ACM cladding is expected to be sufficient to meet demand. Government funding is not the only means of remediating high-rise residential buildings with unsafe ACM cladding. Building owners are expected to play a part in ensuring that their buildings are made safe.</p><p>In more than half of the cases where there is ACM cladding on private sector residential blocks, the original developer or current building owner has agreed to pay or there has been a warranty in place to cover the remediation costs, without passing these on to leaseholders. Whether provided by Government or other sources, availability of funding to protect leaseholders from these costs should not be a barrier for ACM remediation to take place.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 08/09/2020 16:01:35 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
