An image of burned out Grenfell Tower shows some of the cladding that had been fitted to the building
But most suspect its recommendations won't go far enough - in fact, the review isn't even expected to propose a ban on combustible cladding and insulation.
"The government will consult on banning the use of combustible materials and cladding systems on high-rise residential buildings", minister James Brokenshire told parliament.
A report on United Kingdom building regulations set up after the Grenfell Tower tragedy found "deep flaws" in the rules but stopped short of calling for a ban on cladding, the combustible material blamed for contributing to the fire that killed 71 people in London last June. "We are disappointed and saddened that she didn't listen to us and she didn't listen to other experts".
Campaigners, residents and lawmakers had argued for a total ban on cladding and a review of building regulations.
"Whilst some steps are welcome, this is a missed opportunity to set new safety standards that ensure a disaster like the Grenfell Tower fire can never happen again".
There was fierce criticism of the report within moments of its publication.
The Local Government Association, which represents councils, welcomed the announcement, and in a statement said: "It is great that the government has honoured its commitment from last summer to meet the unexpected exceptional costs for councils arising from major remedial fire safety work on high-rise buildings".

Motorists need to give bikers more space on the roads to keep them safe. "The numbers are growing", Jay Wonders said. If you were driving around Toledo, Wednesday night, you may have seen a large group of bicyclists on the road.
"It is clear from Grenfell and from the other tests that have been done that despite the guidance now saying that, people were putting other materials up, so I don't think a ban will work".
"The next problem may not be cladding and I have tried to fix the system, irrespective of what the next problem might be, not just the problem with cladding".
Setting out her proposals, Dame Judith said there was a "systemic problem" and called for a new regulator to be established.
"We have to get to position where people who are putting lives at risk by what they're doing gets picked up at the time and there's sanctions applied there and then, not in the aftermath of a awful tragedy like Grenfell".
The report also found there was ignorance surrounding the rules, uncertainty about who takes responsibility and inadequate oversight.
She said she was "shocked" by some of the practices she had seen and a "cultural change" was needed.
