@hilarybennmp I never thought I would ever say this, but the Tories are completely untrustworthy. They are letting down thousands of leaseholders and are again threatening to break international law. Dodgy PPE deals, tax savings for dodgy developers. No integrity. What a load of charlatans.
@hilarybennmp The real answer to the cladding scandal is to deal with the internal fire precautions first and cladding later. The installation of fire detection & alarm systems and sprinklers, maintenance of passive fire precautions & evacuation procedures will improve safety much more than
@hilarybennmp ... cladding removal. Cladding only becomes a risk if exposed to fire. Therefore, if any source of fire is likely to be controlled or extinguished by sprinklers the fire risk is mitigated. This is in line with fire risk assessment procedures and outcomes. If this approach is not
@hilarybennmp .... recognised & accepted, the whole concept of fire risk assessment becomes invalid. If removal of the fuel source (cladding) is considered to be the only answer, we will end up with concrete settees & beds & metal tables & chairs. Cladding removal is NOT the highest priority.

@HRRBFireSafety @sued62 @MattHodgesLong @lgahousing Hi Phil, looking at the example guidance, I suppose it could be argued that the cladding breaches the compartmentation of any block fitted with it. Under these circumstances it would seem right to dispense with the "stay put" policy and provide a suitable fire detection & alarm
@HRRBFireSafety @sued62 @MattHodgesLong @lgahousing .... system to facilitate a controlled evacuation process. The "cladding" compartmentation breach can be overcome by the installation of sprinklers. The mhlgc acknowledges that in their own studies sprinklers were shown to reduce the risk to life by up to 75% and other studies
@HRRBFireSafety @sued62 @MattHodgesLong @lgahousing .... showed that this safety factor was even higher. In fact in studies by the Sprinkler Association they were shown to have a reliability factor of 97% and an efficiency factor of 99%. There is no reliable way in which the integrity of the compartmentation in these tower blocks
