Inquiry adjourned until Monday

The Grenfell Inquiry has been unexpectedly adjourned until next week after one of the witnesses was taken ill again.

Studio E architect Bruce Sounes returned to the witness box yesterday afternoon after a previous episode of ill health and was due to continue giving evidence for the whole of today.

When the session ended yesterday evening inquiry barrister Kate Grange QC told chairman Martin Moore-Bick that “it would be tight” to finish questioning Sounes today but that she would attempt to get to the end of his evidence this week. The inquiry does not sit on Fridays.
