core participants including the government and other industry bodies. a key question, why a fire classification known as class zero remained in place for decades. cladding panels rated class zero were allowed on tall buildings, but class zero included materials which catch light easily so, after grenfell, all the cladding had to be removed. the grenfell disaster is a predictable yet unintended consequence of the combination of a laudable desire to reduce carbon emissions, coupled with an unbridled passion for deregulation. in particular, a desire to deregulate and boost the housing construction industry. cladding helps keep buildings warm, cutting carbon emissions, and all recent governments have wanted to help home builders build homes, but deregulating the safety of their industry created risks, the inquiry was told today, and the government kept them quiet, it was claimed. the result is a prolonged period
including materials you can never use and would never be used in cladding, changing the parameters of the gaps between the cladding and the gaps between the cladding and the insulation, retesting it and then saying the insulation was fit for purpose. and not stating in the report what they had done to fake this report. the other thing which has come out is that the building research establishment, who are the chief advises the government, had carried out tests on the type of cladding used on green fell and insulation and other forms of cladding and they had filed every single test but they concluded that they were only preliminary tests. the other fact is, we have they were only preliminary tests. the otherfact is, we have had numerous fires in buildings, not just in this country, and the fire
risk produced by acm cladding was well known to people the industry. in fact, when i was speaking at the seventh annual thia conference british standards i specifically raised the issue of acm cladding and insulation and timber balconies and a lot of other materials, that was in 2014. ., a lot of other materials, that was in 2014. ~ ., , a lot of other materials, that was in 2014. ~ . , ,. ., in 2014. and what did they say to ou? in 2014. and what did they say to you? nobody in 2014. and what did they say to you? nobody contradicted - in 2014. and what did they say to you? nobody contradicted me. i in 2014. and what did they say to i you? nobody contradicted me. nobody came u- you? nobody contradicted me. nobody came up and you? nobody contradicted me. nobody came up and said you? nobody contradicted me. nobody came up and said we you? nobody contradicted me. nobody came up and said we are you? nobody contradicted me. nobody came up and said we are going - you? nobody cont
