Mica Action Group
secretary Ann Owens said the group was given a
number of assurances by Mr English including the
careful setting up of the terms of reference of the
investigation and speedy action on the panel's
report.
“MAG expressed the importance of the panel engaging
with all stakeholders called out in the terms of
reference of the investigation - homeowners, MAG,
local authority and relevant manufacturers - to
ensure a complete picture is given of the issue. The
minister assured us that this engagement is ongoing
and communication with all stakeholders will
continue," said Ms Owens.
“Members of the group once again expressed our
continued commitment to engage with the independent
panel set up to investigate this issue, to help them
undertake this investigation robustly.”
