answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government will fully fund the removal and replacement of unsafe Aluminium Cladding Material (ACM) cladding systems on social residential buildings which are 18 metres and over and owned by councils and housing associations, with costs estimated at £400 million.</p><p>The Building Safety Programme releases monthly data on the identification and remediation status of high-rise residential buildings with unsafe ACM cladding systems. As at 31 October 2018, 28 have finished remediation, 87 have started remediation, and 40 have a remediation plan in place. The latest data release is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/building-safety-programme-monthly-data-release-end-october-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/building-safety-programme-monthly-data-release-end-october-2018</a>.</p><p>The remediation of buildings with unsafe ACM cladding systems is a complex process. Remediation work involves addressing any issues with the exterior cladding system and broader fire safety systems for each building. All of this work takes time and varies considerably depending on the building structure, extent of cladding, and existing fire safety systems.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 28/11/2018 16:09:13 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of the provision of support for heating costs provided by local authorities and Housing Associations to social housing tenants while unsafe cladding systems are removed from their homes.

uin	193611
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government is providing funding to ensure that social housing providers can prioritise the remediation of buildings with unsafe Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding without needing to divert resources from other housing programmes, including maintaining existing properties and new build programmes.</p><p>The application guidance sets out the costs covered by government funding. This is intended to cover costs associated with the removal and replacement of unsafe ACM cladding systems (including insulation), such as access (e.g. scaffolding or mast climber), removal and disposal of existing cladding, replacement materials, labour and reasonable on-costs, and VAT on these costs where the building owner is not able to claim this back. The fund is not intended to cover revenue costs, including those associated with interim measures.</p><p>The Regulator of Social Housing requires that homes in the social housing sector meet the Decent Homes Standard, which includes having efficient heating and effective insulation. As social landlords have responsibility for the overall standards of their buildings, we would expect them to take action and engage with residents to ensure disruption is reduced whilst the works are completed as quickly and safely as possible. We would expect those who have concerns about their ability to do this to contact MHCLG or the Regulator of Social Housing.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse grouped question UIN 193618 question first answered 26/11/2018 17:15:32 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
