Wera calls for Compulsory Electrical Safety Checks in Rented Homes

14 July 2017

Yesterday Wera made a speech in Parliament, calling for electrical safety checks following the Grenfell Tower Tragedy...

...Wera said: "I'm proud to be the Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Communities and Local Government. Under that remit, I've spent time looking into the causes of the terrible fire at Grenfell Tower almost one month ago.

I made a speech in Parliament, calling for compulsory electrical safety checks in all rented homes, to prevent yet more avoidable tragedy in the UK.

This government has the power to take the radical steps to fix the system, and they must do that now.

Over the coming weeks, I will be meeting with Curo and other organisations to ensure that the people of Bath are safe in their homes."
