The number of MPs calling for a ban on a controversial
method of signing off untested cladding has risen to 73. Now, 44 MPs have
written to housing secretary James Brokenshire with a list of demands over fire

in cladding without testing. They also urged him to install sprinklers in all
social housing tower blocks, to “reconsider” the use of combustible cladding,
and to ensure that dangerous cladding is removed and replaced. Read more on
