New independent expert advisory panel to advise on measures to be put in place following the Grenfell Tower fire

June 28, 2017

Sajid Javid announces a new independent expert advisory panel to advise on measures to be put in place following the Grenfell Tower fire.

A separate independent Public Inquiry will investigate what happened and who was responsible for the disaster. This expert panel will look at any immediate action that is required so the public can be confident everything possible is being done to make all public and private buildings safe as quickly as possible.

Sajid Javid said:

“It’s absolutely right that there will be an independent public inquiry to get to the truth about what happened and who was responsible for the Grenfell Tower tragedy.

“However, I want to know if there are measures we can put in place now to keep people safe and I want them done immediately. I want the public to be confident everything possible is being done.

“That is why I am announcing a new expert advisory panel to advise government on any immediate action that is required to ensure all buildings are safe.”
