200 Closing Statements on testing and regulation

The Grenfell Tower Inquiry Podcast

Available for over a year

This week the inquiry heard closing statements for Module 6, outlining how combustible materials came to be tested, certified and regulated and ended up being installed on the outside walls of Grenfell Tower. Lawyers representing the Bereaved, Survivors and Residents said the Inquiry had exposed fault-lines in the “edifice of government†and another said the “seeds of the Grenfell Tower fire were sown 20 years earlierâ€. There was criticism of manufacturers, regulators, building control bodies and of the government, with barristers accusing a “cabal of ministers†of being “enslaved to the deregulatory agendaâ€. Presenter: Kate Lamble Producers: Sharon Hemans and Kristiina Cooper Researcher: Marcia Veiga Sound Engineer: Gareth Jones Editor: Hugh Levinson
