More than 100 of Scotland's high-rises still have deadly cladding as ministers 'sit' on £450m pot PREMIUM More than 100 of Scotland's high-rises still have deadly cladding as ministers 'sit' on £450m pot MINISTERS are under increasing pressure to deal with a cladding crisis in Scotland as it emerged that over 100 local authority high rise buildings have potentially deadly cladding four years after the horrifying Grenfell Tower blaze that claimed the lives of around 80 people. Research by the Herald on Sunday has revealed that around one in seven blocks of flats in Scotland overseen by local authorities have the combustible material. It comes amidst criticism that the Scottish Government has not spent a penny of up to £450m available in the last year to deal with the problem.
