49 developers, including Taylor Wimpey, have signed a contract with the Department committing to remediate life-critical fire safety defects in buildings 11 metres and over in height that they developed. The contract with each developer lists the buildings which that developer is responsible for remediating. The developer is contractually required to submit quarterly reports to the Department on progress made towards remediating those buildings, and the Department holds the developer to account against its contractual obligations. The data submitted by developers is not broken down by Parliamentary constituency, but may well include buildings in the Putney constituency which Taylor Wimpey is responsible for remediating. Later this year, the Government will publish the first report about developer-led remediation of over 1,100 buildings covered by the developer remediation contracts.
