Cladding crisis scale unknown 8 years after Grenfell blaze
MPs say ministers have 'heads in sand' on safety

MINISTERS were told to get their “heads out of the sand” today as MPs slammed their plans to fix dangerous cladding eight years after the Grenfell Tower disaster.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s government was criticised for still not knowing how many of up to 7,000 buildings remain unsafe, how much their remediation will cost to address nor how long it will take.
Campaigners welcomed the damning report by the public accounts committee (PAC), which backed their calls to make industry pay for the removing the deadly cladding.
