MPs to debate building safety law - but some hit by cladding crisis fear they ll be left to foot bill Wednesday 21st July 2021 13:30 BST
Leaseholders who bought flats in blocks that were later found to be unsafe have seen the value of their homes wiped out while they wait to be told of the scale and cost of repairs.
On Wednesday, the Commons will give a second reading to the Building Safety Bill, which the government has said will give more protection to homeowners holding developers to account.
But some told Sky News they fear they will still have to foot the bill if developers refuse to pay for the work and it is not covered by government schemes, despite promises from ministers that leaseholders should not have to pay out.
