Proceeding contribution from Andy Slaughter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 January 2022. It occurred during Debate on bill on Building Safety Bill.
Building Safety Bill
It is happening now on a very large scale. This is what one of my major social landlords said about remedial works:
“The cost of this…is in the tens of millions of pounds and has led to us having to significantly reduce our development plans and slow down some of the investment work that we had planned to complete in our existing homes. If we were to try and fund the costs of this work for our leaseholders…this would effectively mean that social housing rents were being used to subsidise costs for leaseholders.”
It is robbing Peter to pay Paul.
