Second Delegated Legislation Committee House of Commons
00:04 - 00:09
Speaker 2
The draft Building Safety Levy (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2026.
00:09 - 00:12
I call the Minister to move the motion.
00:12 - 01:49
Lab Member of Parliament | Vauxhall and Camberwell Green
Member of Parliament | Vauxhall and Camberwell Green I beg to move that the Committee has considered the draft Building Safety Levy Regulations 2026. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms. Jardi. The remediation of residential buildings with unsafe cladding in England is a priority for this government. Nine years on from the Grenfell tragedy, there is no justification for any building to remain unsafe. Helping residents to feel safe in their homes and move on from this is crucial work.
The government is committed 5.2 billion of taxpayers' money to the cost of remediation, and the Building Safety Levy is an essential part of that remediation funding package, which will provide leaseholders and protect them from the cost to ensure that taxpayers do not and do not feel further burdens. We estimate that the levy needs to raise 3.4 billion, likely over 10 years or more. The revenue target may be adjusted in accordance with the number of buildings requiring remediation and the cost of the works. The levy regulations were made in November 2025 and will come into force on the 1st of October 2026. The draft amending regulation before the Committee today will clarify how the levy will work and are intended to come into the force on the 1st of October.
