House builders have been given a deadline of the end of this month to agree on how to pay for the removal of dangerous cladding

The government has threatened to impose legal requirements to force developers to pay.

Under the building safety bill new powers will mean cladding producers can be fined for defective products.

The measures come in the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017 where 72 people lost their lives.
