Wajid Khan, a housing minister, highlighted the ongoing danger posed by cladding on over 2,400 residential buildings in England, stating that about 50% lack remediation efforts.
Gary Porter expressed his frustration regarding the likelihood of future tragedies, suggesting that many unsafe buildings might never be remediated within his lifetime.
Khan emphasized the urgent need for culture change in building safety practices, noting that it cannot be a long-term aspiration but must commence immediately.
Despite acknowledging some progress since the Grenfell Tower fire, the slow pace of remediation over seven years has drawn criticism from campaigners concerned for public safety.
