To ask His Majesty's Government why they are proposing that UK housebuilders pay for remedial work to buildings other than those they built, following the Grenfell fire.
Baroness Scott of Bybrook
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities)
Developers must make a fair contribution to the overall costs of making buildings safe, reflecting the wider benefit they derive from a well-functioning market, and the substantial funding and support the government has and continues to provide to the housing market.
The Government has already committed £5.1 billion to fund remediation of unsafe cladding. The Building Safety Levy is a key element of ensuring that the burden of paying for fixing historic building safety defects does not fall on leaseholders and does not further burden taxpayers.
