Buildings: Insulation

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, for what reason all leaseholders of buildings with Aluminium Composite Cladding must sign a State Aid Declaration for the building to be eligible to apply to his Department's private sector ACM cladding remediation fund.

Answer

State Aid declarations are needed because they assist the government in ensuring the fund complies with the requirements of EU state aid rules; this is the basis on which government is able to provide funding to the private sector. Fund applicants can begin the application process before all State Aid declarations have been received, and are strongly encouraged to do so.
