High Rise Flats: Fire Prevention
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department has received representations on the Grenfell Tower Inquiry's consideration of changes in the level of fire safety regulation.
Government answer
A public consultation on the implementation of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 1 Report recommendations which require a change in law will be issued shortly. We have had early engagement with a range of stakeholders including the National Fire Chiefs Council, the Local Government Association, the Fire Industry Association, the Early Adopters group led by the Ministry of Housing, Community and Local Government, the Devolved Administrations and a number of other government departments.
The public consultation will give all those affected, including the Grenfell community, individuals, residents’ groups, building owners/managers and representatives from the fire safety industry, the opportunity to make their voices heard.
