engaging role to play in implementing the lessons of grenville, including working closely with the ministry of housingett review of building regulations, and i have asked the civil servants responsible for implementing sir martin's recommendations to provide me with regular and frequent updates on their progress. i will not allow the lessons of this tragedy to fall through the cracks. the night of the 14th of june was through the cracks. the night of the 14th ofjune was a horrendous night, but in the darkness we have also seen the best of humanity. the residents who sacrificed their own lives to save their children or neighbours, the local community that rallied round in such an incredible fashion holding the survivors in a tight embrace as the authorities failed to step up. and the people here with us today, the bereaved and the survivors. those who had had every reason to hide away but who have instead fought to uncover the truth about what happened that terrible night, who have forced themselves to relive time and again themselves to relive time and again the kind of trauma most of us mercifully ca

i raised the issue with a member of the ministry of housing.ll on there is that we do not have the capacity to cope with removing it all. there's no edict thatis, removing it all. there's no edict that is, not to remove cladding on low—rise buildings and just as damaging there as it is on the high—rise. damaging there as it is on the high-rise. and there are still cladding this material. yes, indeed. so the high—rise building should be the top of the priority list? yes, they should be. but it should not be just concentrated on them. but yet, they have not been done? they have not been done know. we hear from the chairman saying that this has to be treated as a matter of emergencies. below it has to be treated as an emergency. the leaseholders and others do not have money to do the work. there was a massive breakdown in the approved documents which have been highlighted in inquests in previous inquiries as being at fault in the approved documents led to the disaster that we have. it goes back to the government and advisers to the ministers, what

of local regulation. they validated zoning the laws and parking mandates are just a few dat things developing new affordable housing units and have prevented supply for meeting demand. secretary carson, regardless of the ministry did housing finance system will it make a difference to the affordable housing stock if state and local government do not address the root of the cause of the issue. >> no in order to be effective it will require a combination of federal, state and local jurisdictions. a lot of the problems obviously our local regulations, 80% of the regulations are local in nature and many of them archaic. instead of placing one regulation with another one they come up with something better and layer it on top. we become a complex labyrinth to get from point a to point b. each one of those is an expense as well as creating more time-lapse. d&c is the worst financial state now than they were before the financial crisis. even after they retained 45 billion and earning over the next 18 months they will still be drastically undercapitalized for the $5.5 trillion in assets. secretary mnuchin, what do believe is appropriate capital standard for the gse's and do you think they can raise the amount of capita
