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 鈥渆difice of government鈥 and another said the 鈥渟eeds of the Grenfell Tower fire were sown 20 years earlier鈥. There was criticism of manufacturers, regulators, building control bodies and of the government, with barristers accusing a 鈥渃abal of ministers鈥 of being 鈥渆nslaved to the deregulatory agenda鈥. Presenter: Kate Lamble Producers: Sharon Hemans and Kristiina Cooper Researcher: Marcia Veiga Sound Engineer: Gareth Jones Editor: Hugh Levinson
