Grenfell Tower report: Govt must act with urgency 

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the findings of the final Grenfell Tower report from the public inquiry, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey MP said: 

“Our thoughts today are with the 72 people who tragically lost their lives in the horrifying Grenfell fire, as well as the survivors and bereaved families who have fought so long.

“This is their day. They have waited too long to get the truth, and are still waiting for real justice and meaningful action. We owe it to them to ensure that this crucial report does not become another dust-covered book sitting on a shelf in Whitehall.

“Dangerous cladding must be removed from all buildings as quickly as possible.

"The Government must also act on the rest of the Inquiry’s findings with the urgency they demand – to hold those responsible to account and prevent another disaster like this from ever happening again.”
