Ministers are believed to be poised to release hundreds
of millions of pounds to fix private tower blocks wrapped in combustible
Grenfell-style cladding after mounting public anger that dozens of freeholders
and developers have refused to pay to make them safe. About 20,000 people
living in private leasehold homes are estimated to be affected by the risk
caused by the now-banned plastic-filled panels, similar to those which helped
spread the fire at Grenfell that killed 72 people. Having spent months trying
to persuade property companies to pay with only limited success, housing
ministers appear to be convinced of the need to step in with public funds. Read
