London Fire Brigade Commissioner Andy Roe emphasized the need to dismantle myths about building safety regulations, comparing the UK unfavorably to countries like the US, which maintain stringent regulations without sacrificing economic viability.
Roe noted that the US, while being a capitalist democracy, manages to enforce strict building codes. He questioned why the UK cannot achieve a similar balance, suggesting effective regulations can co-exist with profitable construction.
