This week, the Inquiry moved on from examining the aftermath of the fire and began hearing evidence from a series of experts in fire engineering. Luke Bisby, professor of fire and structures at Edinburgh University, described the results of a test on the cladding panels and insulation installed on the tower as the 鈥渕ost shocking experiment鈥 he had ever seen. Barbara Lane, a fire safety expert, told the Inquiry that the culture inside the Building Control sector was of 鈥渨orrying standards鈥. And Ivan Stoianov, an expert in water distribution systems, said that the quantity of water available for firefighters at Grenfell was 鈥渕ore than adequate.鈥
