Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, with reference to his oral contribution of 17 October 2022, Official Report, column 389, in response to a Question from the right hon. Member for Leeds Central, whether the 24 buildings over 18 metres that have yet to be remediated are fitted with ACM or non-ACM cladding.

Answer

An error has been identified in the answer to the right hon. Member for Leeds Central (Official Report, 17 October 2022, Vol 720, c.369). A correction has been issued here: https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2022-10-19/debates/C4E8D21A-52A0-4DAA-80AB-8D5F0DC6D29F/LevellingUpHousingAndCommunities#contribution-51382932-D6C4-40CE-A1EB-A8AC6B17FC68

Information and data on the remediation progress of high-rise (over 18 metres) residential and publicly-owned buildings with unsafe Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding systems is available in the Building Safety Programme data release on gov.uk at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/aluminium-composite-material-cladding#acm-remediation-data.

For high-rise residential buildings with unsafe non-ACM cladding systems, the Department is continuing to work with building owners to progress applications for the Building Safety Fund at pace so more remedial works can begin as swiftly as possible. Information on registrations to the Building Safety Fund and the remediation progress of buildings proceeding to application can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/remediation-of-non-acm-buildings#building-safety-fund-registrations-private-sector-and-social-sector.

No estimate has been made for buildings with fire safety defects other than unsafe cladding.
