Those local authorities and Housing Associations with which we are in discussion have indicated that they are choosing not to pass on the costs of interim measures or the remediation of cladding systems to individual flat owners within their buildings. I am clear that this is the right approach.<\/p>
For the private sector, it is for the responsible person to take the necessary steps to ensure the safety of residents. In some cases these costs will naturally fall to the freeholder, landlord, or those acting on their behalf. Where they do not, I would urge those with responsibility to follow the lead of the social sector, and some private companies and not to pass on costs to leaseholders.<\/p>
I also want to make sure leaseholders can access specialist advice to understand their rights. My Department is providing additional funding to the Leaseholder Advisory Service to provide a dedicated advice and dispute resolution service to those leaseholders affected. This will complement the excellent work being done by the Leasehold Knowledge Partnership, the All Party Parliamentary Group on Leasehold and Common hold reform and other organisations.<\/p>"}

Given the particular concerns around aluminium composite material cladding, the initial priority was testing those cladding systems. With the large-scale tests now complete and advice on the results published, the Expert Panel is considering whether there may be any heightened risks linked to other issues, such as other cladding systems and broader safety issues.<\/p>"}

The decision on whether to install sprinklers is a decision for each building owner, to be taken in conjunction with professional advice from appropriate experts about their particular building. Building owners are responsible for funding fire safety measures.<\/p>
In 2013, the Department for Communities and Local Government wrote to all local authorities and housing associations, asking them to consider a coroner\u2019s report recommendation that they should consider retro-fitting sprinklers in existing high-rise residential buildings.<\/p>
The Government will give further consideration to various issues in light of the findings of the Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety.<\/p>"}

The Coroner\u2019s report into the Lakanal House fire recommended that the fire safety guidance in Approved Document B be reviewed to provide clearer guidance. In February of this year, the Department published a report into the usability of the guidance. The Department has been working on a revision of the guidance in Approved Document B in line with the Plain English principles.<\/p>
The Government has subsequently asked Dame Judith Hackitt to lead an independent review of the Building Regulations and fire safety, and will determine what further action is needed in light of her recommendations, which was recommended by the Coroner, following the Lakanal House fire.<\/p>"}
