Opened the debate
The Bill seeks to establish an independent public inquiry into the Government's handling of the fire safety crisis, addressing three broad areas: the Government’s failures to date, the faulty design of the building safety fund, and the gap between Prime Ministerial promises and government actions. It highlights issues such as lack of complete data on dangerous materials in buildings, exclusionary criteria for the building safety fund, arbitrary thresholds, inadequate funding, and failure to protect innocent victims.
