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

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

Wales and Northern Ireland is a matter for their respective devolved administrations.</p>
