question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to provide low-interest long term loans to non-qualifying buy-to-lent landlords with more than two leasehold properties who are unable to afford fire safety remedial costs.
tabling member printed	The Lord Bishop of St Albans
uin	HL1400
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2022 answer text <p>We are clear that leaseholders are no longer the first port of call to pay to fix building safety defects, we have taken action to support all leaseholders. The Building Safety Act will require that historical safety defects in any building above 11 metres or five storeys owned by the developer who built or refurbished it, or by a landlord associated with that developer, must be fixed by them. And over 45 developers have signed up to our developer pledge to fix their own buildings. This will benefit all leaseholders in the building.</p><p>In addition, leaseholders, including those with more than three properties may also benefit from government grant funding for the removal of unsafe cladding.</p><p>Where more than three properties are owned, the principal home always qualifies for the leaseholder protections, capping liability for building safety remediation costs on this property. We have also made changes to enable compensation to be sought through the civil courts for historic building safety defects from those responsible. We are, therefore, not planning to provide low-interest long term loans to non-qualifying buy-to-lent landlords.</p><p>The risk of bankruptcy is subject to personal circumstances and usually as a result of a myriad of factors. The action that the government has taken in legislation is to reduce this risk for the majority of people, regardless of their circumstances, when previously they would have faced exorbitant bills. We would hope that following the action we have taken no leaseholder, regardless of how many properties they own, will now face the risk of bankruptcy. We understand that those with multiple properties are better insulated from this risk.</p> answering member printed Lord Harrington of Watford grouped question UIN HL1401 HL1402 HL1403 question first answered 14/07/2022 12:24:20 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/09/2017 answer text <p>The Department for Transport’s STATS19 data collection system for road casualty statistics follows a common internationally agreed definition on fatalities. For statistical purposes, the definition of a fatal road casualty is restricted to casualties who sustain injuries leading to death less than 30 days after the accident. This is the common international definition, adopted by the Vienna Convention in 1968 to allow for satisfactory international comparisons of road accident statistics.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 20/09/2017 12:47:09 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
