Housing Secretary Sajid Javid
LABOUR shadow housing minister Tony Lloyd said today he was “astounded” by Sajid Javid’s comments that there was a low risk to the public from faulty fire-resistant doors used in Grenfell Tower.
The Metropolitan Police has revealed that three front doors from flats inside the tragic tower held back fire for 15 minutes when they were supposed to resist a blaze for 30.
In a Commons statement, Housing Secretary Mr Javid said the government had ordered more tests to be carried out and added that there was “no evidence that this is a systemic issue.”
