Liberal Democrat — Surrey Heath

Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 October 2026

Debate

Building Safety (Remediation of Unsafe Cladding etc) Bill

Contribution

The hon. Lady talks about the need and desire to end the culture of cosy deals. I completely agree, but is not PAS 9980 itself a cosy deal done by the former Secretary of State, Michael Gove, as a compromise with building developers, to let them off from so many of the financial obligations that they would have had if they had to remediate buildings to the standard at which they should have been built? Does this Bill not turn that cosy deal into law?
