BESA welcomes Gove’s admission of guilt

The Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) believes the government’s admission that it was partly to blame for the Grenfell Tower tragedy is a crucial step forward for building safety.
 
Housing Secretary Michael Gove has now admitted that the Building Regulations at the time of the fire which claimed 72 lives were “faulty and unclear” leaving them open to exploitation. In a series of interviews, he also admitted that the government failed to effectively police the “whole system of building safety…which allowed unscrupulous people to exploit a broken system in a way that led to tragedy”
