Building Safety (Remediation of Unsafe Cladding etc) Bill: stronger duties for unsafe cladding
Nine years after Grenfell, unsafe cladding remains unresolved in too many residential buildings. The Government’s Building Safety (Remediation of Unsafe Cladding etc) Bill, introduced to Parliament on 14 October 2026, proposes a clearer legal route to identify risks, require remediation and intervene where those responsible fail to act.
The Bill builds on the Government’s Remediation Acceleration Plan. In a July 2025 Parliamentary statement, Housing Minister Alex Norris MP said that the Government would bring forward legislation focused on:
“accelerating the remediation of historical unsafe cladding and protecting leaseholders in the process”.
