    A proper review of the stay put policy is long overdue.

    It's human nature to flee danger,and I don't think this has changed whether it be high rise flats or garden shed.

    Tighter regulations are needed to ensure another tragedy does not occur. Stay Put is not sufficient!

    Stay Put policy is not sufficient. Tighter regulations need to be adopted to ensure another tragedy does not occur

    Staying put has been proven NOT to work and i lt is naturally human nature to flee. I feel there should be instructions on every floor and people are explained and helped to even have some sort planned routine in a controlled way as possible to get as many people out of the building . But people should not be told to stay put and perish !
