The Prime Minister
I point out to the hon. Gentleman that the recommendation was that the Department
“encourage providers of housing in high rise residential buildings containing multiple domestic premises to consider the retro fitting of sprinkler systems.”
Vicky Ford (Chelmsford) (Con)
May I ask my right hon. Friend whether the inquiry will look at the safety of tall buildings in which people work as well as those in which people live?
The Prime Minister
I think it is important that when the inquiry looks at the implications of the fire, it assesses them for all tall buildings, not just those in which people live. Indeed, we are ensuring that we consider other tall buildings that might have been clad in a similar way, which might not be residential properties but used for other purposes.
