So far the Government has received samples from 11 high rise buildings in eight local authority areas where the cladding has failed safety tests.

Here are some of the buildings where problem cladding has been identified:

5) Salford

Cladding on nine high-rise blocks in the Pendleton area of Salford has been identified as being made from Aluminium Composite Material (ACM), the material used on Grenfell Tower.

Samples of the cladding are being sent to the Department for Communities and Local Government to be tested independently by fire experts.

Pendleton Together, the management company that runs the blocks in Salford, said they realised questions about the cladding were a "real concern" for residents.

The firm said every householder in a high-rise block is to have a home visit to carry out basic fire safety checks on doors and smoke alarms, while patrols of buildings are being carried out "as a precautionary safety measure".

The same firm runs a number of high-rise blocks in Yorkshire and Lancashire, along with Salford.

Harold Lambert Court in the Park Hill area of the city is being checked by the management firm, Together Housing, with cladding samples sent off for analysis.

7)  Halifax

Three blocks in Lower Mixenden, a village outside Halifax, are being checked by independent contractors. Together Housing which manages the properties, Jumples Court, Mixenden Court and Wheatley Court, say they are submitting samples of the cladding but an initial visual inspection suggests it is not the same type as that used on the Grenfell Tower.
