<p>The Government Chief Scientific Adviser has established an independent Science
Advisory Group to quality-check the scientific methodology, testing process and analysis
of results at each stage of the Government-led programme of additional Grenfell environmental
checks. Professor Stec is a member of this group and MHCLG officials have attended
meetings. The Science Advisory Group has reviewed Professor Stec’s research and reiterated
their previous view that it does not change the approach or timetable of the Government-led
environmental checks programme, on the basis that the research is preliminary which
recommends the need for further investigations.</p><p>In February 2018, MHCLG officials
participated in a multi-agency teleconference chaired by the West London Clinical
Commissioning Group and including officials from Public Health England to discuss
Professor Stec’s research. Professor Stec outlined her emerging research which had
not been shared at this stage with Government, its agencies, the NHS or local authority.</p>
