HARLOW MP Chris Vince rose on the floor of the House of Commons to highlight the plight of a Harlow fire fighter who has suffered since attending at the Grenfell tower tragedy.

Mr Vince said: “Two weeks ago, at my surgery, I met medically retired chief fire officer Rod Wainwright. Rod was one of the first attenders at the terrible tragedy of Grenfell seven years ago.

Subsequently, he has been medically retired because of post-traumatic stress disorder.

He did not get the support he asked for from the fire service and the in-house counselling was not enough, and he has subsequently had issues with his pension.

Rod blames himself for not being able to save more people on that terrible evening. Does the Leader of the House agree that it is people like us, in this room, with suits on, who are to blame for the terrible tragedy of Grenfell, not heroes like Rod Wainwright?

Does she agree that further debate needs to be had to support heroes like Rod?
