vote takes place to discuss -- to discuss in more detail i'm joined by a politics professor at warwick universitythanks very much indeed for joining us. -- the queengests speech suggest theresa may has abandoned her plans for domestic reform if she's -- if she still in power, the next two years will be all about brexit. abouteed, it will all be brexit. eight of the 27 bills relate to brexit, so that will dominate parliamentary time over the next couple of years. government has been severely criticized for not providing enough detail on how the brexit negotiations are going to go. >> said is true. were still very thin on detail areerms of what the bills wrong to contain. there are divisions of opinion in the government. the chancellor has a different perspective from that of the prime minister. she's a very unstable prime minister with a very unstable government. a lot of mps were pointing out today that theresa may has yet to form a deal with the northern irish party. it's difficult for her to see two years into the future, let alone over the next few months. >> she is in an unstable situation. t

a fellow in sociology at university of warwick and expert in social housing dr nigel de noranha joinsgel, i could just start with you. the history as to why this block was built in the first place? well, london was suffering a housing crisis, as were many other cities and there was real pressure to stop urban expansion because of green belt regulations, so the solution was cheap constructed tower blocks from prefabricated mechanisms, such as grenfell tower. but built at that stage in concrete? yes, in concrete. ann, why, when we talk about the cladding particularly, which is obviously the central part of any investigation, is it the only sort of cladding that is around or again that word "cheap", we keep hearing that? no. sorry that was to ann. yes, there are other forms of cladding. we have been involved in the requisite of several high rise estates including one with 23 storey tower blocks in hammersmith and fulham which they used what is called rock floor, which is literally stone spun into wall which is highly fire—proof and also a very good insoulant thermoly as well as in noise.
