The public inquiry into the Grenfell Tower disaster has sacked its expert architectural witness after it emerged he was not a registered architect.
John Priestley, who was appointed on Wednesday to produce a report into the architectural design of the refurbishment of Grenfell Tower, was sacked on Friday. [...]
According to the inquiry, before he was instructed, Priestley told officials he was a UK registered and chartered architect.

The title of the article is misleading. He apparently had a position where he did not need to kick in the annual vigorish to RIBA every year to support himself. No doubt he is highly qualified. Too bad someone of his experience wasn't consulted before 72 people were killed - by RIBA registered architects, no doubt.
" However, he was last registered with the professional regulator in 2010, the Architects Journal reported. Architects must pay an annual retention fee to remain on the register."
