Fire Safety and Cladding

Proceeding contribution from Sarah Jones (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 January 2019. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Fire Safety and Cladding.

I am sorry to keep intervening—my hon. Friend is being incredibly generous—but I just want to make a point about waking watch. Having talked to the fire services, I know that it is not an ideal situation. The fire services are worried that companies have come out of the woodwork and started doing waking watch, but people are not always well-trained and there are not always enough of them on site. Waking watch is very much a temporary measure. To have 19 months of waking watch is expensive, but also not ideal, and we cannot be 100% sure that these people are trained and doing what they are supposed to be doing.
