The Government has published its second quarterly progress report on implementing the recommendations from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry. It confirms that work has now been completed on two more recommendations related to Phase 1 for the provision and storage of personal emergency evacuation plans (PEEPs) for High‐Rise Residential Buildings.

After committing to take action on all 58 recommendations from the Inquiry, the Government has also published an implementation timeline showing when each recommendation is expected to be completed. By the end of this year, consultation should be underway on Approved Document B and a licensing scheme for Principal Contractors working on Higher‐Risk Buildings (HRBs) and further information should be published regarding the design of the single construction regulator and the review of the definition of HRB. It is likely to take at least four years for all the recommendations to be implemented due to the need for primary legislation, which is subject to Parliamentary time.
