Estimates Day debate: Building safety

The debate is expected to focus on the allocation of funding for remediation work relating to cladding and other fire safety issues.

The most recent Parliamentary comment on building safety remediation costs came in the House of Lords on Thursday 24 June in questions to Lord Greenhalgh, Minister for Building Safety and Communities.

The question of the cost of remediation work and related Government funding schemes is covered in the Library briefing Leasehold high-rise flats: who pays for fire safety work?.

This briefing covers an overview of building safety work, data on remediation, information on Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) Estimates for building safety and relevant Parliamentary and press material.

Building safety is a devolved matter and this briefing covers England only.
