It has had an impact, it's still having an impact - the consequences have been far reaching and it is still a frequent point of discussion - perhaps not in Government, but among those that can change things, those lives are not forgotten. It may have vanished from the daily bulletins but it is still being covered in the media, if you want to know about it. Grenfell Tower inquiry: 11 key things we’ve learned this year - BBC News There's a very good podcast as well. I'm not sure if the enquiry has restarted - they had a covid related suspension.

'...This is off-topic but is Official Secrets worth watching? ...'
It's all taste eh? I thought it was well done. I didn't actually remember the court case, so it was quite 'fresh' to me. Personally I thought the film was good and so did my son - and if the 'facts' presented are 'facts', frustrating as hell as to how the gov controls some information. If you're like me you'll end up asking '...how on earth can it ever be illegal to expose illegality?...'
...and yesterday on Radio they were talking about the housing market and how flat prices were suffering still due to this issue - ie doubts about dodgy cladding still being in place.
@steveTu But that's only one part of the issue. The impact it has had is that this type of cladding isn't being used on any more buildings. In fact the sensitivity of designers to the combustibility of facade systems has entirely changed. The assumptions about how fire externally affects people in a building have been junked. The assumptions about the reliability of manufacturers' information and the way designers, especially architects, approach refurbishments have all been fundamentally reconsidered. Regardless of the lack of new regulations, designers and builders have changed the rules about materials used in high rise buildings and building control have had a pretty hard shake up in their attitudes as well. The replacement of what is already there and the changes to the regulations will all wind their slow way through. But that doesn't mean nothing has changed.
