question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, for what reasons his Department is not providing funds for the remediation of non-Aluminium composite cladding where it is found to be unsafe.
tabling member constituency	Croydon North
tabling member printed	Mr Steve Reed
uin	276197
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2019 answer text <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 risk ACM poses, very real public safety concerns and the failure of many building owners to do the right thing by their residents.</p><p>Government intervention does not remove responsibility for overall building safety from the building owner and if fire safety risks are uncovered, they must remedy them, or potentially face enforcement action from the local authority. We have made it clear that building owners should protect leaseholders from bearing the costs of remediation, and that the clearest way to ensure safety is to remove unsafe materials.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 17/07/2019 15:36:53 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse previous answer version 129429 answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
