Housing secretary repeats pledge to stop developers trading as deadline passes
Michael Gove has threatened to put 11 housebuilders who missed yesterday’s deadline for signing a building safety contract out of the “housebuilding business entirely” unless they sign up.
The housing secretary read out a list of 11 developers (see below) in the House of Commons this afternoon who were asked to sign the contract, which gives legal force to a pledge to remediate their own blocks over 11m going back 30 years, but have not yet done so.
