Housing: Fire Prevention

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many local authorities received financial support from the Government for collecting and reporting data on private sector residential buildings with dangerous cladding; how much such support has been allocated to date; and when the first such support payment was made.

Answer

We have provided financial support to local authorities for data collection and reporting on cladding on high rise private residential buildings, which we recognise as a New Burden. The total amount transferred to local authorities was £289,000 which was paid to 209 local authorities in December 2017.
