<p>MHCLG does not hold comprehensive data on leaseholders who have been asked to pay
for fire safety remediation works. The Government has made it clear that building
owners should protect leaseholders from bearing the costs of remediation.</p><p>Government
intervention to provide funding for the removal of unsafe Aluminium Composite Material
(ACM) cladding is wholly exceptional. It is based on the unparalleled fire risk ACM
poses, very real public safety concerns and the abject failure of many building owners
to do the right thing by their residents. <br> <br>Government intervention does not
remove responsibility for overall building safety from the building owner and if other
fire safety risks are uncovered, they must remedy them, or potentially face enforcement
action from the local authority.</p>
