by 1:30am, picture that martin moore—bick wants to convey.ar that compartment asian had failed. —— compartment asian. it was later still not too late to order an evacuation will start yet according to martin moore—bick, senior officers simply could not conceive officers simply could not conceive ofa officers simply could not conceive of a situation where dividing into compartments could fail so comprehensively. in the report, stay put with such an article of faith in the fire service that senior officers were reluctant to let the reality before them override their training. and as a result, the decision to order an evacuation was not taken until 2:35am, by which time the terror‘s single staircase was already filling with impenetrable smoke. —— the tower. by this time, confused and pure lines of communication meant that operators in the 999 control room were not aware that the advice had changed. swamped by the sheer volume of calls in dealing with a challenge outside their experience and training, some continued to give conflicting advice to

martin moore—bick chose policy last december. martin moore— bick chose not policy last december.after the fire to review the stay put policy. you need a joined up approach, taking account of building experts, fire safety experts, fire service experts and then you need to test it on the ground. that could have happened within months of the fire, why didn't it happen? dany cotton, i'm just getting more on what she had said this morning in response to the report that was out at 10am on the accusation she showed remarkable insensitivity when saying she wouldn't change anything on the night. she said if i caused any one additional offence, i'm truly sorry. she was asked if she would resign some of their families on our programme have been calling for this morning foster she says, no, programme have been calling for this morning fostershe says, no, i won't, i will retire in six morning fostershe says, no, i won‘t, i will retire in six months‘ time because my commitment is to making those changes and if i resign, can‘t do that. thank you for your time. i‘m going to go back to our guests

the issue is it's the fire service that are criticised by sir martin moore—bick, quite heavily, but he great pains to say that individual firefighters aren't necessarily to blame for anything at all. ultimately they were working within a structure that was too rigid and did not give these guys the proper advice, the proper support, the proper equipment and the proper information and training that they needed in order to be able to fulfil theirjobs that night. the fa ct to fulfil theirjobs that night. the fact that mistakes were made is a tragedy, but those mistakes should not be laid at the doors of any of the individual firefighters on the front line. the management of london fire brigade and the politicians who decided how much its funding was etc, for example mare borisjohnson as he was at the time, are the ones who have a lot of questions to answer, and i do hope that those questions are asked and we do get some sincere and honest answers from them, and maybe some of them accepting responsibility for what they did or didn't do. so that question about responsibility or accountabilit

i think it would be very difficult for us to make, draw that conclusion and i think even sir martin moore—bickthat conclusion. so, will you resign and some of the families are asking? no, i won't, i will retire in six months‘ time. because my commitment is to making those changes and if i resign, i can't do that. grenfell survivor edward daffarn warned that there would be a serious fire in the building months before it happened. we first met him on the morning of the fire, in the clothes that he fled in. my life, my self, was saved by a brave firefighter, from the 16th floor, who came and rescued me when i was taking my last breaths, and sir martin moore—bick in his report points out that there are many, many instances of brave and courageous act by firefighters. my own personal view of dany cotton is that she needs to be dismissed from her post. 0n the grenfell tragedy... in the commons, they stood silent for a minute, as survivors and bereaved looked on at the politicians they feel let them down. they asked for the truth, we promised them the truth, we owe them the truth. and, today, the who

sir martin moore—bick is going to address the sprinkler issue in part two. he references that.ssue of the means of escape, i think there is a question, because there was that central stairway in g re nfell tower, there was that central stairway in grenfell tower, and i think there was a question, which was raised, has been raised by the firefighters, about that question of the means of escape. but this, i think, about that question of the means of escape. but this, ithink, is another issue that part two of the enquiry will be likely to look at, as it is looking at the requirements and the regulations that are necessary for the future. so, mr speaker, there are issues, saddam, madame deputy speaker, there are issues about the cladding and responsibility for why this fire was enabled to happen by the circumstances of the building. i set up circumstances of the building. i set up the enquiry to get to the truth. i think that sir martin moore—bick has shown that he is capable and determined to get to the truth. his report so far has been clear and uncompromising, and i have every e

i think it would be very difficult for us to make, draw that conclusion and i think even sir martin moore—bickto draw that conclusion. but he does draw that conclusion. so, will you resign and some of the families are asking? no, i won't, i will retire in six months‘ time. because my commitment is to making those changes and if i resign, i can't do that. the report found training for high—rise fires was gravely inadequate, that they failed to cope with the 999 calls and that firefighters struggled to share information as the communication systems did not work properly. grenfell survivor edward daffarn warned that there would be a serious fire in the building months before it happened. we first met him on the morning of the fire, in the clothes that he fled in. my life, my self, was saved by a brave firefighter, from the 16th floor, who came and rescued me when i was taking my last breaths, and sir martin moore—bick in his report points out that there are many, many instances of brave and courageous act by firefighters. my own personal view of dany cotton is that she needs to be dismissed from
