I agree that it is unreasonable to expect dwellings not exhibiting damage to be remediated. There are limitations on the funds available so we must have some restrictive scheme in place, as a last resort, to help the people that are in urgent and immediate need of remediation.

I am concerned about problems relating to insurance cover and, more correctly, the restrictions that are being imposed by some companies on homes that had been remediated. I shall raise the matter with the insurance industry federation. This should not be the case. Homes that are remediated should not be refused cover.
