Two years after a blaze at Grenfell Tower killed 72 people, The Times has assessed the British government’s response and found that tens of thousands of people are still at risk.

About 16,000 private apartments are still wrapped in the kind of exterior cladding that fed the Grenfell fire, and many of the business-friendly policies that allowed the tower to be built cheaply remain in place.
