Grenfell firms 'knew cladding would fail in fire'

The emails were disclosed to the inquiry by Celotex, which manufactured the insulation panels used in the work, as it defended suggestions it had not made clear the product would burn.

In response, Neil Crawford, from the architect firm Studio E said that"metal cladding always burns and falls off".The inquiry is hearing opening statements, but some companies have introduced previously unpublished evidence as they seek to blame other firms involved. Celotex made the RS5000 insulation which contributed to the fire. But the company told the inquiry it was always sold on the basis that it did burn.

He said the architects, cladding firm, and fire safety advisers should all have been aware of"clear and specific warnings" about fire safety in the marketing materials for the insulation. The company said building regulations did allow its combustible cladding to be used, as part of a wider system, as long as the system had undergone a successful fire test.

Why dont the council stand up and take account for the shit they signed off on stop passing the buck just take account

So put them up on murder charges and apologise to the fire brigade and it’s former chief

Total disgrace, yet the only person to lose their job over this was the London fire brigade commissioner. The persons in control of these companies and the government advisors have blood on their hands.

I wouldn't rule that out!

So why aren't these firms on trial for murder,

One of the problems of accepting European fire rating standards rather than BS476. And one of the reasons we don't want 'equivalence' standards with the EU. There is a question about the standards of issuing certification in the EU. All UK standards should now be BS kitemark.

This is quite shocking & makes the scapegoating of the fire brigade even worse!

Then why was it put on?
