72 people died at Grenfell Tower, in part, because of serious failures in this country's building regulations and fire safety regime
Read four key recommendations by MPs on the Housing, Communities and Local Government Select Committee
Two years on from the fire at Grenfell Tower, this Committee has not forgotten the victims, the dignity of the survivors, nor the clear message that fundamental change is urgently needed in the social housing sector and construction industry.
Whilst we still await the report of the Public Inquiry, it is already clear that 72 people died at Grenfell Tower at least in part because of serious failures in this country's building regulations and fire safety regime.
We've undertaken a substantial amount of work scrutinising the Government's efforts to reform the building regulations and remediate buildings with dangerous cladding. This report is a continuation of that work.
Here are four of our key recommendations for the government.
Recommendation one
It's been over two years since the fire at Grenfell Tower, and more than a year since the publication of the Final Report of the Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safe.
The Government must pick up the pace of reform, before it is too late.
Recommendation two
It is taking far too long to remove and replace potentially dangerous cladding from high-rise and high-risk buildings.
The Government should set a realistic but short deadline by which time all buildings with any form of dangerous cladding should be replaced with safer alternatives.
Recommendation three
The Government should immediately extend its fund to cover the removal and replacement of any form of combustible cladding from any high-rise or high-risk building.
Recommendation four
The Government and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea have been too slow to provide the support and services needed by people affected by the fire.
Two years on, many survivors are experiencing significant problems with the quality of their permanent accommodation. It's also apparent that the community are not receiving the standard of health checks that they had been promised.
We have made these recommendations to the Government
The Government has two months to respond to our report. To read more depth and detail about our recommendations, read our report on Building Regulations and Fire Safety.
