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>
We would welcome examples of any specific cases under 11m where there are concerns to be raised with the Department for further review.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4652", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lee Rowley"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North East Derbyshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lee Rowley"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-01-31", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-01-31T12:59:27.707Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "211"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Levelling Up, Housing and Communities"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Levelling Up, Housing and Communities"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-01-26", "_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 Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of extending rights to access (a) Remediation Contribution Orders through the First-tier Tribunal and (b) other lower-cost legal action to buildings under 11 metres where leaseholders need to pursue legal action to recover cladding remediation costs.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1500", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Theresa Villiers"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Chipping Barnet"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Theresa Villiers"} ], "uin" : "11595"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1467472", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1467472/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Home Office is the central authority for Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) for England, Wales and Northern Ireland except for tax and fiscal customs criminal matters, which are coordinated by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). Requests seeking assistance solely from Scotland are sent directly to the Crown Office in Edinburgh.<\/p>
Information on time to fulfil specific MLA requests is not currently recorded by the Home Office. When the Home Office is involved in progressing an MLA request, we aim to progress requests promptly, with the requests concerning the most serious offences treated as a high-priority to ensure justice is done and that the UK maintains its reputation as a high quality criminal justice partner.<\/p>
For MLA requests sent to or received from EU countries, the TCA sets out that the UK or requested EU country has 45 days from receipt to decide whether or not to accept an MLA request and a further 90 days to execute the request from the date of the decision to accept.<\/p>
For non-EU countries there are no timescales set out in treaties or multilateral agreements, but the Home Office works hard to complete these requests promptly, as the service the UK receives for the assistance that we request can depend on the service the UK provides to that country on the assistance they are requesting \u2013 i.e. these are reciprocal relationships.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3969", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Damian Hinds"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "East Hampshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Damian Hinds"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-06-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "11591"} , {"_value" : "11592"} , {"_value" : "11593"} , {"_value" : "11594"} , {"_value" : "11596"} , {"_value" : "11597"} , {"_value" : "11598"} , {"_value" : "11599"} , {"_value" : "11600"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-06-08T14:38:25.077Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-06-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Criminal Investigation: International Cooperation"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the (a) mean and (b) median length of time was for UK authorities to fulfil international mutual legal assistance requests for civil asset recovery, in each of the last five years.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1536", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Emily Thornberry"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Islington South and Finsbury"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Emily Thornberry"} ], "uin" : "11595"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1330093", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1330093/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Blanket bans against tenants in receipt of benefits or on low incomes have no place in a fair and modern housing market. The Government has previously worked with the lettings industry to agree an approach to end the practice of excluding tenants in receipt of benefits.<\/p>
We continue to encourage landlords to look at all tenants on an individual basis.

The Government has taken an early decision in the Strategic Defence and Security Review to commit to the Protector programme. The programme is currently in its assessment phase, so detailed work is continuing to confirm a contract for the airframe and associated details, including date for the capability's entry into service and acquisition and life support cost profile, following which the Ministry of Defence will be better placed to understand the implications for the UK workforce and supply chain.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1542", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Philip Dunne"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Ludlow"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Philip Dunne"} , "attachment" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/421004/answer/attachment/1", "fileName" : {"_value" : "Hansard Extract Monday 12 October 2015.docx"} , "title" : "Future Unmanned Air Systems Capability"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-10-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "11582"} , {"_value" : "11593"} , {"_value" : "11594"} , {"_value" : "11596"} , {"_value" : "11603"} , {"_value" : "11610"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-10-16T13:03:26.83Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-10-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Unmanned Air Vehicles"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when he plans for Protector programme unmanned aerial vehicles, and each individual aircraft commissioned under that programme, to enter into service.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1438", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Beamish"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North Durham"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Kevan Jones"} ], "uin" : "11595"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 5, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
