British government proposes making insulation producers and developers pay for ‘unsafe’ high-rise buildings

UK: Michael Gove, the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, has told parliament that the government intends to make building materials producers and developers pay to fix all fire-safety issues at high-rise buildings. In a statement Gove said, “We will make industry pay to fix all of the remaining problems and help to cover the range of costs facing leaseholders. Those who manufactured combustible cladding and insulation, many of whom have made vast profits even at the height of the pandemic, must pay now instead of leaseholders.” Flat owners in buildings over 11m tall will no longer be forced to pay for their own repairs under the proposed plans, according to the Times newspaper. Manufacturers and developers face a potential Euro4.8bn bill for the remedial work.
