        This surely goes beyond accidental lack of compliance by now, doesn't it? And the compliance regime is obvs useless, as in other spheres.

        This is systemic institutional negligence by the Govt, at best. At it's worst, the Govt are guilty of manslaughter. This is Tory culture.

        Wasn't Labour sitting on safety reviews or proud of stripping away H&S and fire safety checks. Was Tories cutting fire crews.

        I think 600 are being checked and so far 75 out of 75 have failed fire safety checks. Hence 600 and 75 being mentioned.

        At the moment, it's 100% bad news based on about 12.5 % checked so far. Doesn't bode well for final result.
