The government has published a list of companies who have failed to begin removing the cladding blamed for the Grenfell Tower fire from buildings they are responsible for.

In an update on the progress of ACM remediation works, the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) said 14 organisations have yet to start on site remediation works.

Of the 462 high-rise residential and publicly owned buildings identified with ACM cladding, remediation has either completed or started on 417 – 31 more than in November.

And it said 297 buildings have either completed remediation or have had their ACM cladding systems removed – meaning there are 165 buildings still with ACM in place.

Overall, 304 buildings, or 66% of all identified buildings, have had their cladding systems removed or are vacant so no longer represent a risk to resident safety.

But there are still 38 occupied buildings yet to start remediation.
