Conclusion (the committee's words)
Leaseholders are no more to blame for non-cladding defects than they are for faulty cladding on homes they bought in good faith. Buy-to-let landlords are no more to blame than other leaseholders for historic building safety defects, and landing them with potentially unaffordable bills will only slow down or prevent works to make buildings safe. Leaseholders of buildings under 11m in height are no more to blame than other leaseholders.
