answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2021 answer text <p>This is a globally unprecedented investment in building safety and hundreds of thousands of leaseholders will be protected from the cost of replacing unsafe cladding on their homes. The Government has rightly targeted funding at the removal of dangerous cladding to make homes safer, quicker – the costs for remediating this are high, and the risks posed by it are also high.</p><p>Our approach prioritises action on buildings 18 metres and above, where risk to multiple households is greater when fire does spread. This is in line with longstanding expert advice on which buildings are at the highest risk.</p><p>We have gone further, and through an additional package we will provide a financing scheme for the remediation of dangerous cladding for to support remediation of buildings of between 11 and 18 metres in height. As part of this financing scheme, leaseholder payments towards remediation costs will be capped at a maximum £50 per month.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 22/02/2021 17:38:13 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2021 answer text <p>We recognise the difficult situation which many leaseholders have found themselves in, and the emotional strain which this has placed on many.</p><p>I continue to engage with Cabinet colleagues on these important issues, including those from DHSC.</p><p>As a result, where building owners have failed to step up, the Government has stepped in. On 10 February, the Secretary of State announced a comprehensive five-point plan which will provide for the removal of dangerous cladding in both high-rise buildings of 18 metres and above and medium-rise buildings of 11-18 metres. For high-rise buildings there will be £3.5 billion of grant funding in addition to the £1.6 billion already provided by Government, and for medium-rise buildings a generous financing scheme for cladding removal under which no leaseholder will have to pay more than £50 per month. There will also be a levy and tax on developers, recognising that the industry that caused this legacy of unsafe cladding must make a contribution to setting things right.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 22/02/2021 17:36:11 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
