Tower, we will need to consider the position on guidance further alongside the Prime
Minister's commitment to look at wider issues, and in the light of the terms of reference
for the public inquiry when published.</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>
