Question
How much money has been spent on the removal of dangerous cladding from private buildings in Wales?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Climate Change
A budget of £375 million has been provided over the next three years to fund remediation work. In Wales, this work will go beyond cladding and take a holistic approach to remediation, including compartmentation and fire suppression systems.
Our spending forecast for remediation and repair work in 2022/23 financial year, is £75 million.
Through our Welsh Building Safety Fund, we have received 261 Expressions of Interest. Of these, we have identified 163 sites which require intrusive survey work. These surveys identify the any fire safety issues present and the action required to address these issues.
