Raft Of Safety Flaws Listed At Grenfell Tower Inquiry


A list of failed safety regulations has been presented to a public inquiry into the Grenfell Tower blaze. Dr Barbara Lane said lifts in the tower were sub-standard, fire doors had not been replaced and combustible material was fitted around windows. She said the "very basis" of the policy telling people to stay in their flats during a fire only worked alongside other protection measures. But the standards firefighters relied on "failed" at 01:26 GMT. A total of 72 people died as a result into the fire on 14 June 2017 in North Kensington, west London. Read more on the BBC website.
