The Minister acknowledged the importance of the debate and thanked Rushanara Ali for her work. He stated that the Building Safety Programme was established within days of the Grenfell Tower fire, aiming to remove unsafe ACM cladding from high-rise buildings at no cost to leaseholders. £1.6 billion in funding has been set aside for remediation efforts, with progress being made but much more still required. The Minister emphasised that building owners and managers should be responsible for costs, but public funding is available for those who cannot afford it themselves. He committed to increasing pace of remediation through specialist consultants like Faithful+Gould and announced an additional £1 billion fund for non-ACM unsafe cladding materials. The Fire Safety Bill was mentioned as a key measure to strengthen enforcement actions against irresponsible behaviour. The Minister also addressed concerns about waking watch costs, committing to investigate ways to reduce these expenses. He reiterated the government’s commitment to address professional indemnity insurance issues.
