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�
