97 Expert Witness: Dr Barbara Lane

Grenfell Tower should not have been occupied said expert witness

The inquiry heard from expert witness Dr Barbara Lane, a specialist in fire engineering.

Her 2,000 page-long report focuses on the fire prevention and safety measures in place on the night of the fire, and to what extent these measures failed to control its spread.

Dr Lane told the inquiry that parts of the external cladding did not meet required safety standards.
