Recommendation (the committee's words)
The Government rightly proposes to take strong action against UK firms, however its options against overseas firms who have also contributed to the building safety crisis are more limited. The Secretary of State told us that to reveal its options would be showing too much of the Government’s hand. The Government must take steps to hold overseas developers and other relevant foreign firms to account. When it is appropriate to do so, the Government should set out the actions it has taken.
