i think people should take advice of the local fire and rescue service than from me. ck would be built so there should be a safe means of exit, the fire escape should make sure smoke does not enter, so people should be able to escape from fire. if the smoke is contained in the fire is contained, then normally a fire in a tower block will not affect people more than a floor above or below. that's how they are designed. clearly in this case that has not happened. that needs to be looked into. no doubt there will be a very thorough investigation. in terms of from a firefighters point of view, something else we are hearing is that firefighters had difficulty accessing the building. what kind of challenges will they have faced today? i have heard again, i am in nottingham and dealing with second—hand, i have seen press reports. we will visit the scene and speak to firefighters on the ground as to what has happened. clearly in this day and age there are lots of security measures built into properties which are for people's security when they are in the home ora security when

after it is handed over, it is up to the fire and rescue services to manage the ongoing, to oversee thegement of the occupied building. where things fall down is the division between the building process and the occupier process that sometimes things slip through the net. very briefly, is that the gap you think will have to be looked at? absolutely, yes. there are a number of areas that need to be looked at. the current practice we use will have to be looked at and that the handover process from the building phase to the occupied phase, we need to have some kind of system that we can be absolutely sure that a building is right at that point so we can move on. thank you. very complicated, thank you for explaining it so clearly. we and we'll find out how this story, and many others, are covered in the papers at 10.a5pm. the guestsjoining me tonight are david wooding, political editor of the sun on sunday, and katie martin from the financial times. the headlines on bbc news — after weeks of criticism and a storming council meeting last night, the leader of kensington and chelsea council ha

in every case of failed test, landlords and the local fire and rescue services are alerted and we arer all affected buildings have been informed, sorry have informed or are informing tenant and implementing the safety measures needed, working with fire and rescue services. at this time, the safety of people living in these buildings is our paramount concern. i‘m determined that residents have as much peace of mind as possible. landlords must keep building safe, where they cannot satisfy that obligation with appropriate measures we expect alternative accommodation to be proviepded while the work is carried out that. is what happened in camden andi out that. is what happened in camden and i would like to pay tribute to the residents for their brave response to such a diss tressing situation. it is obvious that the problem of unsafe cladding may not bea problem of unsafe cladding may not be a problem unique to social housing. we asked managers of private blocks to consider their own buildings and we have made the testing facility available to them. my testing facility available to them.

public in those homes of course are worried, but they should be able to be reassured by the fire and rescue serviced they are safe in their homes. but it is right to say that where all those other measures fail, the local housing authority, the council, may take those steps to evacuate the premises, and in those circumstances they're right to do that. camden council in london says around 200 residents, from 100 and 20 households, are still refusing to leave several tower blocks which have been judged by the fire services to be too dangerous to live in. the council say it could take as much as four weeks to make the blocks safe. earlier i asked the forensic architect christopher miers whether he thought that was realistic. the reality is, of course, work has to be conducted in a well—planned manner, and that does take a bit of advance planning. it takes — normally, of course, the first thing is to provide safe access to all levels of the building, so there may need to be scaffolding provided. then the materials that are going to be obtained nearly always have to be ordered in, with some delay betwee

a tower block in flames due to poor building quality and an heroic response by the fire and rescue service understaffed and local government response that has left victims sleeping out for a few days and bridges as they had nowhere else to go. make no mistake, this is the brutal reality of austerity economics that has failed on its own terms and leads to falling living standards and inequality and disasters. amidst all the recriminations, local groups are still working hard to support those caught up in the fire, especially vulnerable children. one boxing club was based in the tower and it has helped nurture dozens of champions, including olympic gold word —— medal winner and current champion george groves. now some of the boxes have returned to show support. this amateur boxing club is famous, producing stars like james to gayle and it was based in g re nfell tower. to gayle and it was based in grenfell tower. it is now homeless and today is about fundraising and about giving some of the boys who practice their chance to spar with the pros. i used to go when i was younger. sparring with a

carry out additional fire safety checks on tower blocks and ensure the appropriate safety response measures are in place of this is being done in crop and local fire and rescue servicesurse be careful and speculating what caused this fire, but as a precaution, the government has arranged to test cladding in all relevant tower blocks. mr speaker, shortly before i came to the chamber i was informed that a number of these tests have come back as combustible. the releva nt local come back as combustible. the relevant local authorities and fire services have been informed and as i speak, they aren't taking all possible steps to insure buildings are safe and to inform affected residents. mr speaker, we can test over 100 buildings a day and the results come within hours. i urge any landlord who owns a building of this kind to send samples for testing as soon as possible. any results will be communicated immediately to local authorities and fire services. landlords have a legal obligation to provide safe buildings and where they cannot do that we expect automotive accommodation to be provided. we cannot and will not ask people to live in unsafe homes. mr speaker, it is clear

people living in tower blocks around the country need urgent reassurance, and the emergency services, especially fire and rescueerve our deepest respect and support. turning to the speech itself, he argued there was very little in it for a two year session of parliament. a threadbare legislative programme from a government that has lost its majority and apparently ran out of ideas altogther. this would be a thin legislative programme even if it was for one year, but for two years? two yea rs 7 ! there's not enough in there to fill up one year! he turned to what was not in the speech. to cheers he said there was no mention of scrapping the winter fuel allowance for some pensioners. mercifully, neither is there any mention of ditching the triple lock. pensioners across britain will also be grateful to know that the tory election commitment on that has also been binned. and older people and their families might also be keen for some clarity around the government's policy on social care. whether it's still what was originally set out in the conservative manifesto, or whether it is what it was later amended to, or w

the similarity is that in every case there is a requirement that the local fire and rescue service musts. and where the fire service have gone in and said they can take mitigating measures, such as what happened in some other areas like plymouth in manchester, they have installed fire wardens 24/7, they have put in place the clearance of the car park, they have checked and make sure all the other fire safety measures such as doors and things are in place. as the fire service has deemed that as they then thatis service has deemed that as they then that is the advice that has been followed. what was different here, very different, is that the fire service, the local fire service found that multiple other failures in the fire safety measures that should have already been in place in the towers and as a result of that, they have made this quite correct decision. so your understanding at present is that the other tower block will beings have not yet had the local fire service checks, which would get them to the point of saying we cannot guarantee the safety. that phrase seems to be the keyis
