I would just caution the Member, first of all, on her—. She’s correct in saying that there was an electrical device in the flat that was in Grenfell, but there is a full inquiry going on there and we have to ensure that we have all the details of that. I think the building was also compromised in other ways, but that will become clear through the inquiry. With regard to the letter that the Member raises with me, I have letters from experts in all sorts of fields every day. What is really important is that we have a co-ordinated approach, and that’s why, working with the UK, Scotland and Wales on these very issues, we are getting feedback on whether the electrical testing facilities that we have in place are adequate for the requirements that we are needing for evidencing whether that’s true. What I will do is, as I said to you earlier on, continue to update Members, in particular around electrical safety, and I will send the letter to all Members in the near future.
