Minutes of a July 2014 meeting held by the Centre for
Window and Cladding Technology, show officials were warned guidance was “not

was fitted onto the outside of Grenfell Tower in a refurbishment which was
completed in 2016. The minutes say: “There have been major fires in buildings
in various parts of the world where ACM materials have been used for the
cladding, with the ACM responsible for the external fire spread.” Read more on
