High Rise Flats: Fire Prevention

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, how many buildings with life-critical fire-safety defects are excluded from the developer self-remediation terms because a signatory to the developer contract is a joint venture partner who is entitled to less than 50% of the economic return from a building.

Answer

No developer has provided the evidence required by the joint venture clause to show that they are less than 50% responsible for any of their listed buildings, so all developers are liable for 100% of the costs of remediating the relevant buildings. Developers are obligated to remediate buildings covered by the contract as soon as they are able.
