to the built—in safety crisis into such sharp relief. we are now seven years on from the grand tower fire which killed 72 people, and there are still buildings that are having dangerous cladding removed from them and the impact of that is what we saw overnight in dagenham. we should saw overnight in dagenham. we should sa we saw overnight in dagenham. we should say we don't — saw overnight in dagenham. we should say we don't know _ saw overnight in dagenham. we should say we don't know exactly _ saw overnight in dagenham. we should say we don't know exactly what - say we don't know exactly what happened, but the fire service said they knew of safety issues with the flats. you mentioned the grenfell disaster, and it certainly brought back memories of that disaster. the fire service haven't confirmed that there are people in the building. how big an issue as it still, particularly in the capital, with theissue particularly in the capital, with the issue of cladding? we particularly in the capital, with the issue of cladding? we don't know

what has happened _ the issue of cladding? we don't know what has happened in _ the issue of cladding? we don't know what has happened in dagenham - the issue of cladding? we don't know| what has happened in dagenham yet, you're quite right, but if the building has got fire safety issues the risks are higher. it is important to point out that when the building is being remediated, so having its cladding removed or the fire safety issues rectified, the risk of a fire is increased because you have raw material around the building. during the time the work is being carried out there is also an elevated risk. in terms of the scale, i think that is really important. at the end ofjune this year there were 4613 buildings across the country, this is a national issue, which were above 11 metres tall which had been identified as having unsafe cladding and where remediation was in process. there are buildings under 11 metres which will not be recorded into statistics and a small number of buildings worth the work has not even begun yet. d0
