Summary:You will all have seen extensive media coverage of the fire at London's Grenfell Tower on 14 June, and our condolences go out to all whose lives have been affected. A fire like this can never be allowed to happen again. RICS will be submitting a response to the public inquiry that has been convened into the fire, and the inquiry's first report is expected next Easter. Our previous President Amanda Clack has also been appointed to the independent expert advisory panel, along with BRE Chief Executive Dr Peter Bonfield, former London Fire Commissioner and government Chief Fire and Rescue Advisor Sir Ken Knight, and Roy Wilsher, Chair of the National Fire Chiefs Council.
