Recommendation
It is completely unacceptable that, nearly five years after the Grenfell tragedy, the Government still does not seem to know how many buildings have unsafe cladding or other historic building safety defects. We commend the Secretary of State for finally seeking information from developers and manufacturers, and commend industry for now working at pace to provide this information.

(Paragraph 21) Who should pay?
Government Response Summary
The government states it is committed to publishing information in data releases as soon as it is appropriate to do so and currently publishes monthly data on progress with remediation of unsafe ACM cladding, quarterly updates on Building Safety Fund funding, and monthly data related to the Building Safety Fund.
