I welcome<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/hackitt-review-calls-for-radical-rethink-of-regulations-but-no-ban-on-cladding\/41491\/\"> Dame Judith Hackitt\u2019s comprehensive report<\/a> and her calls for fundamental reform in the building sector. I am committed to making that happen as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe cladding believed to be on Grenfell Tower was unlawful under existing building regulations. It should not have been used.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will ensure there is no room for doubt over what materials can be used safely.
