The Regulator of Social Housing recently completed a Fire Remediation Survey on the progress that Registered Providers of social housing are making towards identifying and fixing fire safety defects in their stock above 11 metres. We intend to publish findings by the end of the year. I would be happy to meet with my Hon Friend to discuss remediation in his Wimbledon constituency, should that be helpful.
