Opening statements of Module 2 of the inquiry. The companies which manufactured the insulation and cladding products used on Grenfell Tower were accused of ‘sinister’ behaviour to distort fire tests conducted on their materials so that their products could be used on high rise residential buildings.
Module 2 of the inquiry will examine how materials used on the tower were tested, approved, advertised and sold.
Stephanie Barwise who represents a group of bereaved, survivors and residents argued that manufacturers knew that the products they were selling were dangerous, yet failed to be candid with organisations which issued official classification certificates, instead viewing them as ‘mere marketing tools’
Expert witness Paul Hyett, charged with investigating the work of architects Studio E, also gave evidence to the inquiry this week.
