Statistics on the progress of remediating unsafe cladding on 11m+ buildings in England are published monthly here: Building Safety Remediation - GOV.UK.The latest published statistics, as at 31 October 2024, shows progress over the last three months as: 120 more buildings in England are known to have started or completed remediation works on unsafe cladding since the end of July, and 86 more buildings are known to have completed remediation.The published statistics also include data on remediation progress of buildings in Northern Ireland progressing remediation via the Cladding Safety Scheme.Building safety is a devolved matter and the progress of remediation in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is a matter for their respective devolved administrations.

Communities and Local Government, whether she has had recent discussion with the Scottish government on the Cladding Remediation Programme in Scotland.

Building standards and remediation are a devolved matter. Scottish Government have taken a different remediation approach in terms of identification, assessment and scope.We support the collective improvement of the safety of the UK’s built environment and regularly work with colleagues in Scotland and other devolved Governments to support them in driving remediation and protecting affected residents.
