Will the First Minister provide an update on the Government's remediation programme to protect buildings in Wales following the Grenfell fire tragedy eight years ago?

The Grenfell Tower tragedy continues to drive our focus on resident safety, and I am delighted that the Building Safety (Wales) Bill is currently progressing through scrutiny. We continue to do everything possible to unblock barriers to progress, and I am pleased to report work is either under way or completed on 214 of 459 buildings in the programme. Only 24 buildings have yet to start the assessment process.
