Cladding confusion

Referring to the ongoing battle between leaseholders and freeholders of properties with possibly dangerous exterior cladding (Mirror, June 20). Surely, although leaseholders are fully expected to pay a fee for upkeep, they shouldn’t be expected to pay for the removal of dangerous cladding which should not have been there in the first place?

Ultimately, the freeholder must be held responsible for the safety of the building when a lease is granted. There shouldn’t be any question about it.

In reply to your recent Big Question about banning mobile phones in schools, perhaps MPs could set an example by outlawing the use of phones and tablets during their debates in the House of Commons.

I would love to hear the Speaker say, “Put away your devices and pay attention to what’s being said!”
