Grenfell Tower: Fire Regulations

(asked on 19th March 2018) - View Source

Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to identify and publish (1) the type of fire doors installed at Grenfell Tower in 2013, and (2) the manufacturer that supplied those doors; whether they have established which public bodies, local authorities, housing associations, and other volume users have used and fitted the same fire door type in the last 10 years; and if so, whether they will publish a list of those bodies.


This question was answered on 4th April 2018

The doors identified by the police investigation into the fire at Grenfell Tower were produced by Manse Masterdor. This company is no longer trading.

As the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government set out in his statement on 15 March, we have begun the process of conducting further tests, and we will continue to consult our expert panel to identify the implications of those further tests. The Secretary of State committed to updating the House when further information is available, and no later than the end of April.

The Expert Panel has advised that the risk to public safety remains low. There is no change to the fire safety advice that the public should follow.
