The Government is committed to protecting qualifying leaseholders from the costs of fixing historic building safety defects that were not their fault.\u202f Legislation has been introduced to ensure that qualifying leaseholders are both protected from costs and can pursue building owners and developers for contributions to fix these issues.\u202fPathways are in place for all residential buildings over 11 meters in England to fix unsafe cladding through government funds, developer contributions, or registered providers of social housing.<\/p>

Too many buildings still have unsafe cladding, and the pace of remediation has been too slow. Any building owner who fails to make their building safe faces enforcement action. The Code of Practice for the Remediation of Residential Buildings requires all remediation projects to treat residents as key stakeholder in the remediation process.<\/p>

Government continues to put residents at the heart of the building safety agenda and conducts fortnightly building visits to engage residents to better understand their experiences and to support them.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4138", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rushanara Ali"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bethnal Green and Stepney"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Rushanara Ali"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-09-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-09-18T11:38:22.91Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "7"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-09-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Buildings: Insulation"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps her Department is taking to support residents of buildings with unsafe cladding.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4828", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Paula Barker"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Liverpool Wavertree"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Paula Barker"} ], "uin" : "5131"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1728260", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1728260/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government does not hold the data on the number of buildings where insulation has been installed through a government funded scheme and subsequently required remediation work.<\/p>

<\/p>

Since 2019, all installations under government energy efficiency schemes have been required to be carried out by TrustMark registered and PAS 2030 or MCS certified businesses to improve the quality of installations and protect consumers. TrustMark registered installers are required to provide all consumers with a guarantee covering the installation work for up to 25 years for a range of energy efficiency measures.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4372", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Amanda Solloway"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Derby North"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Amanda Solloway"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-05-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-05-21T15:11:03.457Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "215"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Energy Security and Net Zero"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Energy Security and Net Zero"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-05-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Buildings: Insulation"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if she will make an estimate of the number of buildings in which insulation was installed through government-funded grant schemes in which remediation of that insulation is required.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4667", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mike Amesbury"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Weaver Vale"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mike Amesbury"} ], "uin" : "25934"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1685329", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1685329/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

It is generally accepted that the life safety risk is proportional to the height of buildings.\u202f\u202f\u202fThe risk\u202fto life\u202ffrom historical fire safety defects is lower in buildings under 11m, therefore\u202fbuilding safety related remediation works are required in a very small number of buildings under 11m.<\/p>

In rare cases where remediation work is required in buildings under 11 metres, the government has retrospectively extended the limitation period under Section 1 of the Defective Premises Act 1972 enabling legal action against developers and contractors where works completed in the last 30 years made a dwelling not \u201cfit for habitation\u201d.<\/p>
