<p>We are addressing building safety concerns in light of the Grenfell Tower fire
to ensure that residents of higher risk buildings are safe and feel safe now and in
the future. As part of our comprehensive response to the fire we have established
the Building Safety Portfolio to identify unsafe buildings, make buildings safe, identify
system problems and fix the system</p><p><br> The Government will fully fund the removal
and replacement of unsafe Aluminium Composite Material cladding systems on social
residential buildings 18m and over owned by councils and housing associations, with
costs estimated at £400 million. My Department has so far allocated £248 million to
replace cladding on 135 buildings. We will still accept applications from building
owners who require funding.</p>
