Five years on from the Grenfell Disaster, dangerous cladding which cannot be made safe through interim alternative measures is still a deeply unsavoury situation. Michael Gove was prompted to issue a clarion cry in a letter to developers to contribute to a £4bn remedial fund as well us undertaking works to the buildings they “have played a role in developing” to reduce the exposure of that fund.

That was almost six weeks ago. The government has since issued a further statement of intent, unveiling its amendments to the Safety Bill and claiming that it will force developers to remove cladding to protect leaseholders from incurring remediation costs.
