division_name: Fire Safety Bill &#8212; After Clause 2 - Prohibition on passing remediation costs on to leaseholders and tenants pending operation of a statutory scheme
motion: <p class="indent" pid="c264.3/2" pwmotiontext="yes">That this House disagrees with Lords amendment 4J.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c265.1/2" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;Britain&#8217;s building safety scandal could cause a new financial crisis.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c269.0/4" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;The fire safety bill is back in the commons. Government is using the excuse that the amendment will delay Grenfell recommendations. The amendment is to protect leaseholders from charges. The FSB is separate &amp; it is wrong to claim support of it damages recommendations. Using Grenfell Recommendations to justify government&#8217;s indifference is deeply upsetting for us and shows they&#8217;d rather protect the corporates responsible from paying for the mess they created. Our request is simple: implement Grenfell recommendations make homes safe &amp; protect lease holders from financial ruin. Nearly 4 years since Grenfell and yet not a single piece of legislation has been passed. Homes have to be made safe this is a basic human right. We ask all MPs that committed to ensuring Grenfell 2 could not happen to do the right thing today by us and the thousands of leaseholders effected.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c273.0/4" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;There is evidence that the junctions between compartment floors were inadequately fire stopped&#8230;as there were gaps at mineral wool fire barriers at steel framing. There were no visible fire barriers at vents or around windows/door frames and it could not be confirmed that the window/door frames themselves formed cavity barriers.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c278.0/2" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;no leaseholder should have to pay for the unaffordable costs of fixing safety defects that they did not cause and are no fault of their own.&#8221;&#8212;[Official Report, <phrase class="date" code="2021-02-03">3 February</phrase> 2021; Vol. 688, c. 945.]</p>
