186 Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government

鈥淎ppalling, delayed, partial and looks chaotic鈥

This week the Inquiry heard from inside Whitehall, as two civil servants, Bob Ledsome and Anthony Burd, gave evidence. It was revealed that the All-Party Parliamentary Group on fire safety chased housing ministers 16 times about a promised revision to the building regulation guidance. And we heard about a briefing that was prepared a few days after the Grenfell Tower Fire, which described the department鈥檚 correspondence with this group as 鈥渁ppalling, delayed, partial and looks chaotic鈥.
