The bereaved, relatives and survivors of the Grenfell tragedy were let down by successive governments.

For decades , we did not take building safety as seriously as we should have.

We did not treat tenants in social housing with the respect they deserved.

And progress on the path towards justice has been painfully slow.

None of these companies has even begun to make amends, let alone acknowledge fault.

Saint-Gobain , the parent company that previously owned Celotex , continues to sponsor the Franco-British Colloque.

Efforts on my part to restrict the import of these companies’ products ran up against the commercial purism of Treasury Mandarin Brain .

I worry that the new government may be dissuaded from doing everything necessary by those counselling caution.
