I acknowledge the important work done in the review carried out as a result of the Grenfell disaster. The Minister said local authority schemes and social housing were built to the highest standards. It is interesting to note, however, that over the last number of years since the issue was highlighted in schools, a number of residents in local authority housing in various schemes have indicated that they are concerned about structural issues, namely external cracks in walls and condensation and dampness. My question referred specifically to multi-unit development schemes rather than to the traditional semi-detached or terraced block. A number of people have come forward about this. Is a review under way or due to be carried out to look at the structural integrity of those buildings?
