answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2018 answer text <p>Local authorities are responsible for funding the costs of fire safety work in their own buildings. However, the Government will consider financial flexibilities to enable local authorities to undertake essential fire safety work to make buildings safe. If a local authority building owner considers a building to be unsafe, they will need to determine what measures are essential to make a building safe. This will need to be done as part of a whole fire safety strategy for each individual building, taking into account expert advice, any directions or advice from the local fire and rescue service and fire safety measures present.</p><p>Councils should contact my department if they have concerns about funding firesafety works in their buildings.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 30/01/2018 14:54:23 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab

tabling member constituency	Tottenham
tabling member printed	Mr David Lammy
uin	124562
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2018 answer text <p>The latest figures from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC), as of 25 January 2018, show that 95 households from Grenfell Tower or Walk have accepted an offer of permanent accommodation, and that of this number, 54 households have moved into permanent accommodation. Figures also show that 96 households from Grenfell Tower or Walk remain in emergency accommodation, which includes those living in hotels, serviced apartments and some who are living with friends and family. The Council has assured me that no residents from Grenfell Tower or Walk are living in bed and breakfast accommodation.</p><p>Whilst permanent homes are being acquired and made ready for residents, the Council is working closely with residents to help them move into good quality, local interim homes. The Council has committed that the interim homes offered to residents are self-contained, fully furnished, big enough for each family and are not in a high rise building. The Council is also providing advice and help to residents in setting up their new temporary home. A total of 58 households from Grenfell Tower or Walk have moved into interim accommodation.</p><p>The Council has acquired hundreds of permanent homes for the survivors of Grenfell Tower and Grenfell Walk to give people as much choice as possible. But while no-one should be rushed into making such an important decision about where they are going to live, for some the pace has been too slow.</p><p>I expect the Council to do whatever is necessary to ensure households can move into settled homes as swiftly as possible, but to do so sensitively and taking into account individual needs.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 30/01/2018 15:34:07 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab
