Reacting to the Prime Minister’s statement, the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said:
“The news this morning confirms people’s worst fears that there is a real risk that other tower blocks across Britain are at risk from combustible cladding.
“There is now a huge amount of work to urgently do to ensure that it is safe for people to remain in properties affected. If not, the government must support people being rehoused immediately while cladding is being removed.
“I am working with the London Fire Brigade and local authorities in London so that this happens as quickly and smoothly as possible.
“I am urging all landlords who haven’t yet sent cladding to be tested to do so immediately.
“The Government needs to ensure all resources necessary are made available to local authorities for the testing process, for checking those tower blocks and for rehousing local people in their local community.”
