New photo Ministry of Defence 'covered up' report that thousands of soldiers are living in 'deadly' barracks

A shocking leaked reports claims soldiers are living in 'death trap' barracks which could become the next Grenfell Tower.

Findings in the report by the Defence Safety Authority (DSA) have been covered up, Army insiders told the Sun, despite thousands of troops reportedly living in unsafe conditions.

The 33-storey Hyde Park Barracks in central London, which is home to thousands of the Queen's personal troops, is said to be one of the most at-risk properties. 

A source claimed young soldiers are at risk of 'burning to death in their beds' if the Army fails to rehouse them.

The buildings were said to be at risk of a disaster like the Grenfell Tower fire (pictured) which killed 72 people last summer

'Everybody knows that it won't be long before things get so bad that people are killed,' the source claimed.

'Young soldiers are going to burn to death in their beds.

'It's sheer cowardice and a betrayal of every man and woman serving in uniform.' 

The DSA report was ordered after two blazes at Aliwal barracks in Tidworth, Wilts, and Thiepval Barracks in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, which uncovered fire safety failings. 

Inspectors were said to have compared Army buildings to the Grenfell Tower blaze which killed 72 people last summer. 

The report said there was 'unacceptable degradation' of barracks, 'faulty equipment' and 'broken or unserviceable infrastructure'.

The report into fire safety was ordered after two fires in 16 months, one of which happened at Thiepval Barracks, Lisburn (pictured)

It concluded that there was significant risk of 'a fire resulting in significant loss of life, loss of capability and damage to Defence's reputation'.

The damaging dossier was handed to defence chiefs on August 14 and had been due to be published on the independent watchdog's website in September - but it has mysteriously failed to appear.

A series of high-rise blocks were built within barracks in the 1960s. The 308ft Basil Spence tower at Hyde Park Barracks, London, tops 221ft Grenfell.

An MoD spokesperson told the Sun: 'All occupied buildings owned by the MOD meet national building and fire regulations and we regularly inspect our sites to ensure they meet safety standards.

'We are making improvements to fire safety across our sites, including bolstering our resources for fire assurance.'

The other fire started in Lucknow Barracks in Tidworth, Wiltshire and was the catalyst for the report's creation

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
