Recommendation (the committee's words)
Governments share responsibility for the building safety crisis on account of their regulatory failings. Everyone involved would instantly have more funds to spend on remediation if the Government played its part by removing VAT on building safety activity, which would enable homes to be made safer. The Government should remove VAT on building safety activity.
