LABOUR is calling on scores of Tory MPs to vote today for a Fire Safety Bill amendment to protect their constituents from the high costs of cladding removal and fire safety measures.
The party has written to 77 Tory MPs who represent about 100,000 people in total who are living in flats with flammable cladding and safety defects.
About 400,000 people are living in blocks over 18 metres high that are still covered in dangerous cladding almost four years since the Grenfell Tower blaze that killed 72 people.
