answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2021 answer text <p>More than half of private sector high-rise residential buildings with unsafe ACM cladding have had their remediation costs paid for by warranties, developers or the building owner. Where this is not happening or is not happening at a quick enough pace the Government has made £600 million of funding available to building owners to remediate unsafe ACM cladding in residential buildings 18m and over. As part of the funding agreement applicants are required to demonstrate that they have taken all reasonable steps to recover the costs of replacing the unsafe cladding from those responsible through insurance claims, warranties or legal action.</p><p>Where applicants have successfully recovered funding for part of the costs of remediation this will be reflected in their grant from the relevant fund, which will be lower than it would have been if the full costs needed to be covered. Our latest data shows this amounts to savings to the taxpayer of over £27 million across the Private Sector ACM Fund, Social Sector ACM Fund and Building Safety Fund as of end February 2021. However, given the recovery of funding from those responsible for the presence of unsafe cladding can be a lengthy and complex process we expect it to take some time to see money returned in cases where a grant covering the full cost of remediation has been made.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 29/04/2021 08:28:03 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2021 answer text <p>This information is not held. The Government banned the use of combustible materials material on the external walls of high-rise residential buildings in 2018. The ban was introduced to remove any uncertainty for building developers, designers, contractors and suppliers as to what materials are classified for use in the external walls of buildings. The ban limits materials that can be used to those achieving certain classifications. We expect all cladding materials to have been subject to the relevant safety checks and approved before the material can be used on a building.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 29/04/2021 08:26:41 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2021 answer text <p>We know that it will be disappointing that Eid will take place before Step 3 of the roadmap to reopening has been taken. However, we must remember that we are still living through a pandemic – every additional day of restrictions directly improves our ability to reduce transmission and control the virus.</p><p>Communal worship outdoors in the grounds of a Place of Worship is already possible. Outdoors each participating group can involve up to two households. Mosques will also be able to organise ‘Eid in the Park’ prayers, but will need to work with local councils and health officials to facilitate this. Because larger events inevitably carry risks around groups mingling we have advised anyone planning such an event to ensure they are modest in size and well stewarded to ensure social distancing guidelines are followed, consistent with our guidance on Outdoor Events.</p> answering member constituency Walsall North answering member printed Eddie Hughes question first answered 29/04/2021 08:30:49 answering member 4635 label Biography information for Eddie Hughes
