Up to 7,200 unsafe buildings have not yet been identified, National Audit Office finds.

Remodiation “is not currently on course” to complete by then and some buildings may take until 2037 , NAO finds.

Up to 12 to 16 per cent of 9,000 to 12,000 buildings estimated to have flammable cladding.

Galliard said it continued to work with the government in line with its contract.

Two government audits rejected Galliard ’s stance.

Government has spent just a quarter ( 2.3 billion ) of 9.1 billion in total cladding grants - more than 1 billion less than planned.
