Listening to @libdemdaisy Building Safety motion in @HouseofCommons parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/61…
Daisy is calling for a public inquiry into the #BuildingSafetyCrisis with a focus on 3 key areas:

1. Scale - how many bldgs impacted/data
2. Building Safety Fund - multiple issues
3. Gap between Govt promises and actions
Describes the prospect of leaseholders suing developers as 'Alice in Wonderland stuff' - references the recent @NAOorguk report stating @mhclg own views that lawsuits would not be successful.
The Bill progresses to a 2nd Reading on the 10th September. Congrats @libdemdaisy and team.

Hansard extract from June 1983 discussing @NHBC

"There seems to be some type of cover-up going on, as I was refused a copy of the National House Building Council's report on this system which was then obtained by Granada and shows all of the major defects in the system."
"...a debate should be held to force the Government to prevent the continued use of this system, at least until the BRE survey of timber frame construction is published in full and to ensure that the report is not hushed up."
From 1983 👇

"The report of @NHBC showed that on 33 per cent. of building sites visited fire stops had been omitted or incorrectly placed." #buildingsafetycrisis #notnewjustbigger

“A serious failure of a smoke ventilation system that resulted in the building acting like a “broken chimney”  left residents’ only escape route smoke logged during the New Providence Wharf fire...” ⁦@weareballymore⁩ #newprovidencewharf london-fire.gov.uk/news/2021-news…
"It is the responsibility of the building owner or manager to make sure the AOV, which is designed to ventilate and extract smoke during a fire to help residents escape, operates correctly."
"Had it not been for the exceptional actions of our firefighters and 999 control officers this could have had tragic consequences." thank you @LondonFire 💚

@hmtreasury @GOVUK will soon be making a profit out of the #BuildingSafety Crisis! Simple maths for the moment, would welcome help from an economist to validate. Pls share THREAD 👇
£1.6bn of taxpayer funding pledged to #ACM fund (£600m) and #BuildingSafety fund (£1bn) assuming this is all spent @hmtreasury could receive back 👇
£320m in VAT £200m Tax/NI from project workers, £100m Corporation Tax from remediation firms. So £1.6bn becomes £980m. This is further reduced by 👇
