Wasn't gas for high rises banned after Ronan Point ?

Only for ones using that particularly vulnerable style of
prefabrication.


Sorry to all the engineers and architects out there, but if you had asked
me at the age of 16, if gas in a tower block was a good idea, I would
have thought you were joking.

Many, many years, my instinctive misgivings about the idea are only more
entrenched.


How many tower blocks collapsed after Ronan Point, because of gas
explosions?

How many tower blocks have caught fire because of a fridge freezer
explosion?
