Building Safety Bill

Anne Clarke AM moved, and Léonie Cooper AM seconded the following motion:

“This Assembly calls on the Mayor to write urgently to the Secretary of State for Housing asking him to amend the Building Safety Bill to protect leaseholders and tenants in buildings of all sizes from costs as a result of EWS1 forms, remediation and mitigations (including waking watches and common alarm systems) in buildings where dangerous cladding or other fire safety defects are present. This Assembly also asks the Mayor to make representations to the Government to meet the increased financial burdens being placed on fire brigades in London and across the country who are undertaking additional building safety checks.”

Following debate and upon being put to a vote, the motion was agreed unanimously.
