The survey has even attracted the attention of a former state premier of Victoria, Australia and former co-chair of their Cladding Task force, who describes the Earl’s scheme as a global precedent for reform.

We appeal to the government to implement the Building Safety Remediation Scheme urgently. To protect the 1.7 million innocent flat owners currently excluded by the Building Safety Act.

The petition has also been featured in Today’s Conveyancer calling on the UK to sign:
