Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Climate Change – in the Senedd at 1:40 pm on 21 September 2022.
Thank you. I share your concerns about the fire in Victoria Wharf. I'm sure the Minister will certainly consider your request. Certainly, from the information I have here, I think we're awaiting confirmation from one more developer around medium or high-rise buildings. I know the Minister is aware of some instances—I think a number of instances—where the responsible person and the managing agents have engaged with consultants privately to undertake that survey work, and I know the Minister is looking at reimbursing survey costs and looking at retrospective funding. I think she's always made it very, very clear that leaseholders should not be made to pay for fire safety issues that are not of their making, and I know she has another meeting, as I said, planned with developers.
