Question
To ask the Scottish Government what action it is taking to accelerate (a) the Single Building Assessment programme and (b) remedial works to ensure that buildings are safe.
Answer
The cladding remediation programme has already made good progress in identifying and assessing safety issues and planned legislation through the Cladding Remediation Bill will help also us to address barriers to remediating unsafe cladding that presents a risk to life. We are also committed to undertaking a stock survey and work is underway to risk assess and prioritise the 105 buildings in the pilot programme to ensure that they are on a pathway to Single Building Assessment by summer 2024.
