answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2021 answer text <p>Local authorities and housing associations are conducting a data collection exercise as part of a programme to build a more complete picture of high-rise residential buildings and the variety of external wall systems in use. We will publish appropriate summary information from the data collection in our monthly Building Safety Programme data release when ready, which we expect to be in spring this year.</p><p>For buildings with unsafe ACM cladding, more buildings have come on site with remediation work within the last year than at any other time previously. Final figures for 2020 will be published on 21 January and we expect this to show that around 95 per cent of the buildings identified at the start of last year will have safety work completed or underway.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 11/01/2021 17:11:37 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2021 answer text <p>Insurance Premium Tax is a tax paid by insurers on all general insurance premiums. Insurance pricing is a decision which is affected by a wide range of factors, and the taxes that insurers pay are just one part of this. It is hard to predict the impact of an exemption on insurance pricing for leaseholders, as this largely depends on how the insurers would react. In addition, any loss in tax revenue would have to be balanced by a reduction in public spending, increased borrowing or increased taxation elsewhere.</p><p> </p><p>While there are no current plan to introduce an exemption on insurance pricing for leaseholders, all taxes are kept under review and the views expressed to us are carefully considered as part of the annual Budget process.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is working closely with lenders and the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors to address problems faced by homeowners caught up in EWS1 processes.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 11/01/2021 10:50:37 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
