Spending watchdog says government expects to foot the bill for 94 out of 208 private sector projects

According to the spending watchdog, just 149 of the total 456 buildings which are 18m and above and have unsafe ACM cladding systems had been fully remediated by April 2020, leaving 307 where remediation was not yet finished. Work has not begun on 167 of these.
