Housing secretary James Brokenshire confirmed details to MPs yesterday
The government鈥檚 consultation on banning the use of combustible cladding is set to get under way next week.
Speaking in the House of Commons yesterday afternoon, housing secretary James Brokenshire confirmed details of the consultation would be published next week.
In a statement on the government鈥檚 response to the Grenfell Tower fire one year on, Brokenshire said: 鈥淗aving listened carefully to concerns, the government intends to ban the use of combustible materials on the external walls of high-rise residential buildings, subject to consultation.
鈥淲e will publish the consultation next week. It is essential that people living in buildings like Grenfell Tower are not only safe but they feel the state understands their lives and works for them.鈥�
There has been a public call for a ban on combustible cladding, despite the fact Dame Judith Hackitt鈥檚 review of building safety did not recommend one.
While not making the recommendation herself Hackitt did say she would back a government decision to ban the controversial products.
Both Brokenshire and prime minister Theresa May have since said government is in favour of a ban.
