Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the difference between (1) the tests that their Expert Advisory Panel commissioned from the Building Research Establishment following the Grenfell Tower fire, and (2) tests conducted by the building industry which informed decisions relating to the refurbishment of that block.

We cannot comment on issues specifically related to Grenfell Tower, as these are matters for the public inquiry and the on-going police investigation.
