In response to question 2, this response has interpreted ‘dangerous Grenfell-style cladding’ to mean Aluminium Composite Material cladding.

The Scottish Government does not hold information showing any buildings in Scotland where dangerous Grenfell-style cladding has been completely replaced to date.
