End Our Cladding Scandal, a group representing leaseholders affected by unsafe buildings, said the “extremely disappointing” proposals are “still far from a comprehensive solution” on building safety.

Ministers announced today that building owners who fail to remove dangerous cladding could face jail as they set a 2029 deadline for action.
