The company hired to test flammable cladding on
government-built buildings have been ‘gagged’ from criticizing Prime Minister
Theresa May. Engineering firm WSP signed a government contract worth more than
£100,000 to carry out testing of cladding on buildings, 12 days after the
Grenfell Tower fire. A prerequisite of the deal was WSP having to sign a
gagging clause preventing the company from being able to create “adverse

at a time when the prime minister was receiving criticism for her handling of
the disaster, much of which was related to her failure to meet residents and
survivors of Grenfell Tower in the immediate aftermath. Read more on the RT
