question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they will take to ensure that freeholders replace combustible cladding on their properties; and whether they will provide funding to local authorities to carry out this work if freehold owners fail to do so.
tabling member printed	Lord Beecham
uin	HL14178
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government’s priority is to ensure that residents of high-rise (above 18 metres) buildings with unsafe Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding systems are safe.</p><p>Ministers and officials continue to engage with developers, building owners and managing agents with responsibility for buildings with unsafe ACM cladding systems to ensure that they are fully remediated as quickly as possible. We have written to all relevant private sector building owners reminding them of their responsibilities towards making their buildings safe, and the Secretary of State has set his strong expectation that leaseholders should be protected from the costs of remediation.</p><p>We have reminded building owners that local authorities have powers to enforce these improvements if building owners do not take action and we are backing local authorities to take such enforcement action where building owners are refusing to remediate high-rise buildings with unsafe cladding. This will include financial support where this is necessary for the local authority to carry out emergency remedial work. We have also established a Joint Inspection Team to support local authorities and give them the confidence to pursue enforcement action.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 18/03/2019 16:10:10 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

tabling member printed	Lord Beecham
uin	HL14179
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2019 answer text <p>I am very concerned about the position the residents at Northpoint find themselves in through no fault of their own, and I am disappointed that the freeholder has not yet committed to doing the right thing and protecting leaseholders from the costs of remediation. The Secretary of State has consistently set his strong expectation that costs should not be passed on to leaseholders, and he has written to the building owner and other parties at Northpoint to make clear that he expects them to fund the work. He has asked them to find an acceptable solution urgently. We are considering various options for ensuring costs are not passed on to leaseholders.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 18/03/2019 16:06:57 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
