A panel of cladding is missing on a tower block on the Chalcots estate are seen in Camden after the local council announced they would be removing alumium cladding in light of the fire at the Grenfell Tower, in London, Britain, June 22, 2017.

Ninety-five buildings have failed safety tests introduced after at least 79 people were killed in a fire that ravaged a tower block in west London earlier this month, a spokesman for British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Tuesday.

"Right now, we are at a position where 95 buildings in 32 local authority areas have now failed the tests and that remains a 100 percent failure rate," the spokesman told reporters.

"The prime minister said there would need to be a major national investigation into what had gone wrong when cladding which is failing the tests had been fitted on buildings across the country over a number of decades."
