Grenfell Tower.
Grenfell Tower.

Last week Theresa May finally agreed to the demands made by survivors of and those bereaved by the fire at Grenfell Tower last June, and announced that a panel of experts would sit alongside Martin Moore-Bick for phase 2 of the Grenfell Inquiry, as well as pledging £400m to remove and replace dangerous cladding. On Monday we debated the issue in Westminster Hall, after 150,000 members of the public signed a petition calling for the change.

There are still questions that remain to be answered however, including why the experts will only sit during phase 2 of the enquiry, and why the other demands in the petition, including that legal representatives of survivors and families be able to review evidence from the start, have not been met.

For the Inquiry to be effective it must have the confidence of survivors and families of those killed in this tragedy – I hope the Prime Minister is able to reflect on these points and swiftly address them so that all those affected by Grenfell can feel that justice is being served.
