Buildings: Insulation

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the Written Statement of 18 July 2019, Building safety update, HCWS 1757, what his Department's definition is of the exceptional circumstances that would provide justification for private sector building owners not completing remediation of buildings with unsafe ACM cladding by June 2020.

Answer

Our expectation is that remediation should be completed within six months of agreeing a plan – by June 2020. Exceptional circumstances that may prevent this deadline being met will be considered on a case by case basis once full applications are received.
