Question
To ask the Scottish Government what progress is being made in supporting the removal of flammable cladding.
Answer
We met our commitment to start the programme to assess buildings within our first 100 days of government.
Our Single Building Assessments will identify issues around fire safety including cladding and the scale and scope of remediation needed to make buildings safe. This will support home owners and offer reassurance to those affected.
We are committed to fully funding Single Building Assessments with the £97.1 million consequentials we have received. We continue to urge other parties, such as developers, to continue to play their part where construction is found to be unsafe just as we continue to press the UK Government for the detail on further consequentials.
