From the Manchester Evening News 2013:
"Assistant County Fire Officer Bob Graham, who led the blaze inquiry, later campaigned tirelessly for a change in the law to improve the safety of soft furnishings. His cause was championed by Tony Blair, the then shadow trade spokesman, who helped bring legislation to Parliament in 1988. Mr Graham, who now works for the Alliance of Consumer Fire Safety in Europe . . . "
The ACFS has very close links with the European Flame Retardant Association. Bob Graham was funded by EFRA for many years (retired a few years back), spending all his time flying around the world trying to convince everybody, governments in particular, that more flame retardants are the answer to fire safety.
