<p>Following the tragedy at Grenfell Tower, the Prime Minister has committed to look
at wider issues. This work will need to be progressed after the publication of the
terms of reference for the public inquiry and the guidelines produced by RECONASS
will be considered as part of that exercise.</p><p>An independent expert panel has
been set up to provide advice to the Government on any immediate measures needed to
make buildings safe following the Grenfell Tower fire. The panel will be led by Sir
Ken Knight, former London Fire Commissioner and former Government Chief Fire and Rescue
Adviser. It will consider safety measures, policies, inspection and regulation, taking
account of both the Grenfell Tower fire and ongoing fire safety inspections. It will
look at any immediate action required to ensure public confidence that everything
possible is being done to make all public and private buildings safe as quickly as
possible.</p>
