Many buildings also have defective or missing fire breaks, unsafe insulation, lack adequate smoke ventilation, and use other flammable materials. Who will pay to fix those problems?<\/p>\n<h3>The Grenfell inquiry<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;The Grenfell inquiry has shone a spotlight on shoddy workmanship, but it has also uncovered considerable problems with the way some building materials are tested and marketed. Most contractors buy or specify products in good faith having been presented with what should be compelling evidence that they comply with building regulations and are safe.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All parts of the supply chain have to learn from this scandal, and responsibility needs to be properly shared. Only then can we start to fix the \u2018culture\u2019 that led to this problem in the first place.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) has praised Housing Minister Michael Gove for the new cladding plan but has warned that it is not enough to completely fix the scandal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[306],"tags":[712,897,110,276,795,432],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-103583","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-building-control-news","7":"tag-besa","8":"tag-cladding","9":"tag-fire-safety-management","10":"tag-government","11":"tag-grenfell-tower","12":"tag-health-safety"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>BESA warns Gove that cladding plan is not enough<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"BESA has praised Housing Minister Michael Gove for the new cladding plan but has warned that it is not enough to completely fix the scandal\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/cladding-plan\/103583\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"BESA warns Gove that cladding plan is not enough\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"BESA has praised Housing Minister Michael Gove for the new cladding plan but has warned that it is not enough to completely fix the scandal\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/cladding-plan\/103583\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
