“The overwhelming feeling is frustration and tiredness. The anger’s kind of faded”. The words of Paul Morrell, industry grandee, former construction adviser and most recently the weary co-author of an independent review into construction product testing.

He is fed up. It is over three-and-a-half years since he began his work looking into this mind-bogglingly complex mess after the Grenfell disaster, but the consultation on many of the issues it raised is only happening now. That consultation ends next Wednesday.

And not only that, he feels the previous government showed a total lack of engagement with his and Anneliese Day’s review. By not engaging, it missed the opportunity to clarify some fundamental issues at the crucial stage. Chief among those is what to do about regulating for safety construction products that are imported into the UK from the EU, which he and other experts talk about in our analysis this week.
