SCOTTISH ministers were accused today of “dragging their heels” over the replacement of Grenfell-style cladding as the bulk of the removal work is earmarked for 2025.

The Scottish government’s spending review pledged £180 million over three years to remove the flammable exterior panels.

But the vast majority of funds — £100m — will be allocated in 2025-26, while a £30m budget will become available in 2023-24, increasing to £50m in 2024-25.
