, because its guidance on housing regulation was not “policed effectively enough”.
He told Sky News: “I think that if you look at what happened to Grenfell, there were lots of factors but yes, Government collectively has to take some responsibility.”“It is undeniably the case that the system of building regulation was not right,” he told the programme.: “I remember visiting the site just a couple of days after the fire and thinking that it was horrific that this had happened. The more that I discovered about the circumstances the more horrified I was.
