High Rise Social Housing: Reducing Fire Risk

Proceeding contribution from Andy Slaughter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 September 2021. It occurred during Debate on High Rise Social Housing: Reducing Fire Risk.

That is absolutely right. It is a triple whammy. There is the fear of living in an unsafe building with one’s life potentially at risk; there are the huge, unaffordable costs I have already mentioned; and there is the extra feeling of being trapped because one’s property may have a nil value, so it is impossible to move on with one’s life, start a family and so on. It is difficult to imagine a previous crisis with such an impact on so many people, and frankly that is why the Government’s response so far has been inadequate.
