0:28:29 > 0:28:34Some of those in emergency accommodation have already accepted

0:28:34 > 0:28:37emergency accommodation, but it takes time to fit out the

0:28:37 > 0:28:44accommodation, to fit it with white goods. I am confident the Royal

0:28:44 > 0:28:48borough of Kensington and Chelsea, who are planning to spend nearly a

0:28:48 > 0:28:52quarter of £1 billion acquiring property, have now got the message

0:28:52 > 0:28:56and the former lack of emotional intelligence and empathy is now

0:28:56 > 0:29:07behind us and they're now getting on with the job.Can he tell me, I any

0:29:07 > 0:29:18of those who are claiming no social housing, were any of those tenants

0:29:18 > 0:29:25of Grenfell Tower, who had moved out and unlawfully let their

0:29:25 > 0:29:29accommodation to more than one family? Because I don't think we

0:29:29 > 0:29:36need to too much sympathy for people who behaved like that.I am not sure

0:29:36 > 0:29:47I fully understood his question. The assistance that the government and

0:29:47 > 0:29:50the Royal order of Kensington and Chelsea have extended as to those

0:29:50 > 0:29:55who were living in Grenfell Tower at the time, who are now homeless or

0:29:55 > 0:29:58who were homeless shortly after the fire, so anybody who is living there

0:29:58 > 0:30:08at the time is now being assisted by the borough. He has lived through

0:30:08 > 0:30:10tragic circumstances where people have lost their life and he will

0:30:10 > 0:30:14know better than anyone else in this house the trauma that those people

0:30:14 > 0:30:21have been through. I think we ought to allow them the time and the space

0:30:21 > 0:30:31is to find suitable accommodation to move into.Could he say why, in the

0:30:31 > 0:30:34aftermath of the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the government continues

0:30:34 > 0:30:41apace with his deregulation agenda? So far as Grenfell Tower is

0:30:41 > 0:30:47concerned, she will know that a review is shortly to produce its

0:30:47 > 0:30:51interim review on fire regulation and fire safety. She'll know that

0:30:51 > 0:30:55after the tragedy at Grenfell Tower, advice was given on two occasions to

0:30:55 > 0:31:00owners of property that might not conform with appropriate cladding,

0:31:00 > 0:31:06on how to make safety measures appropriate for those blocks. And

0:31:06 > 0:31:11the whole thrust of the enquiry under Sir Martin Ward Bick, the

0:31:11 > 0:31:14whole thrust of the enquiry is to make sure that nothing like this

0:31:14 > 0:31:15ever happens
