Peer: Grenfell report alarm

A TORY peer has issued a damning warning over building safety after the Grenfell Tower tragedy.

Lord Porter hit out over fears a landmark report today will fail to ban flammable cladding.

Dame Judith Hackitt will publish her review of building regulations almost a year after 71 died.

Lord Porter, who represents town halls, said: “I’m not confident at all.”

A £400m scheme will strip dangerous cladding from 158 tower blocks.
