Tower blocks fail fire safety tests

The fallout from the Grenfell Tower fire has continued, with the number of high-rise blocks failing fire safety checks rising to 75.

Every single residential block that has now been tested has failed safety tests. It has also emerged that in Camden, where four blocks were evacuated, more than 1,000 fire doors were missing. And the US company that manufactured the cladding used on Grenfell Tower has stopped selling it for use on high-rise blocks.
