<p>In England, the Government is providing £1.6 billion to speed up the removal of
unsafe cladding and make homes safer, more quickly. We have also appointed construction
experts who are reviewing remediation timescales and identifying what can be done
to increase pace, along with providing direct expert support to projects.</p><p> </p><p>Where
building owners have failed to act, despite government support, the Government has
supported enforcement action by Fire and Rescue Services and local authorities. We
are also holding case conferences to discuss specific buildings of greatest concern
with the relevant local authorities to agree action plans.</p><p> </p><p>Housing and
building safety are devolved matters, and the progress of remediation in Scotland,
Wales and Northern Ireland is a matter for their respective devolved administrations.</p>
