answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/03/2021 answer text <p>The Government’s existing funding schemes are providing £1.6 billion to remove and replace unsafe cladding systems from high rise residential buildings. This is because unsafe cladding acts as an accelerant to fire spread, and funding will remove the biggest obstacle to remediation proceeding. Eligible items covered by funding includes works directly related to the replacement of the unsafe cladding system. Detailed information on eligible items can be found in the relevant prospectus for each fund, available at: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fguidance%2Fbuilding-safety-programme&amp;data=04%7C01%7CPSChristopherPincher%40communities.gov.uk%7C42052a3d94814453c33808d8dd85115d%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C637502910869130904%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=z0zQhuA159h9X019Qb8Xe%2BWi83%2F7lbFPOPms8nO%2FNKY%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/guidance/building-safety-programme.</a></p><p>Works which are not directly related to the remediation of unsafe cladding systems will not be covered by public funding. Non-cladding defects are therefore not included unless they are integral to the cladding. Government guidance is clear that building safety is the responsibility of building owners and we have given expert advice on a range of safety issues to provide clarity. We will publish more details on how the additional £3.5 billion funding for the removal of unsafe cladding announced on 10 February will work alongside existing funds as soon as possible.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 03/03/2021 16:02:34 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
