But yes. Let's hope any enquiry is comprehensive and findings acted on.
Sad it has taken a disaster of this magnitude for some to realise
building regs etc aren't just red tape to annoy people.


It's a see-saw. There are some, I've been told, who are fed up with red
tape from un-elected bureaucrats (of which there as just as many in the
UK, where 80% of our laws derive; the 20% of EU-derived ones get a bad
press).


I'd be rather surprised if bureaucrats initialised much in the way of
building regs? Mostly done on advice, I'd say. Choosing the right expert
to get that advice from is the tricky part.
