Commenting on the Labour Government’s announcement on building safety today, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Andrew RT Davies said:
“The Labour Government have been incredibly slow to resolve the cladding issue blighting the lives of people across Wales for 5 years now since Grenfell.
“The announcement is welcome nonetheless and I am glad that Labour are finally following the UK Conservative Government’s example in dealing with this issue and has also followed our Welsh Conservative calls to take action.
“However, there needs to be some vital clarification as to whether ‘intent to sign’ actually means that developers have and will sign up to these measures.
“It seems the Minister jumped the gun in October and developers are only now coming onboard. Two developers, Bellway and St. Modwen, are missing from the statement today altogether so there needs to be urgent clarity there.”
