I see the government has decided to throw tory Kensington and Chelsea Council under the bus.
"Local Authorities are responsible for enforcement."
"In the case of apartment blocks, this duty falls on landlords and building owners. They have a duty to ensure that a risk assessment is carried out to identify hazards and risks, and remove and reduce these as far as possible"
"Enforcement of the Fire Safety Order falls to the Fire Safety Authority, using a risk based approach."
An attempt to avoid blame?
"Nothing to do with us" squeals Theresa
"But still, the Tories will struggle to get away from continued accusations that austerity and lack of regulation are partly to blame for the tragedy."
Yes, they will.
