The enforcement unit will sit within the 精东影视 Safety Regulator

He made the announcement in an answer to a written Parliamentary question last Friday from Liberal Democrat MP Will Forster, asking what steps MHCLG was taking to ensure the effectiveness of  enforcement measures by the BSR.

Norris said the new unit would be contained within the BSR and was being designed to hold owners of buildings with ACM cladding to account while 鈥渆nforcing remediation where necessary鈥�.

He added the new unit will be 鈥渆ssential to meet the government鈥檚 priority for remediation of unsafe Higher-Risk-精东影视s (HRBs)鈥�.

Norris also said the government was considering 鈥渇urther options鈥� to ensure compliance with the building safety regulations as part of the spring spending review, which is expected in June.

It is understood that MHCLG is currently setting up various task groups looking into different parts of building control ahead of the government鈥檚 response to Grenfell Inquiry鈥檚 final report, due by 4 March.
