Baroness Taylor quote:

Baroness Taylor of Bolton, who was Chair of the Committee at the time of the inquiry, said:

“We welcome the Government's response and we are pleased that the Building Safety Regulator is making progress in improving its performance which, as we heard throughout the inquiry, has been unacceptable.

However, the job is far from done, and we will be looking for both the regulator and the Government to continue to work actively to ensure that the remediation of unsafe cladding and the construction of new homes in high-rise buildings can proceed more quickly, while remaining safe.”
