As at 31 October 2018, 28 have finished remediation, 87 have started remediation, and 40 have a remediation plan in place.

Remediation work involves addressing any issues with the exterior cladding system and broader fire safety systems for each building. All of this work takes time and varies considerably depending on the building structure, extent of cladding, and existing fire safety systems.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 28/11/2018 16:09:13 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
