approximately 600 high-rise buildings with similar cladding.
“We are in touch with all the local authorities to encourage them to urgently send us the samples and then we will carry out the checks that we need to see where we are with that.”
In blocks where the cladding was found to be combustible further tests would be done to ensure the building was safe and residents could be rehoused.
