The Grenfell Tower Inquiry yesterday published its final report into the causes of the Grenfell Tower fire disaster. It must not be forgotten that the Grenfell Tower fire was and remains an intensely personal tragedy for all those who lived in and around the tower, and above all, for the families and friends of those who died.

Significantly, the report acknowledges that it is not possible to identify any single cause of the tragedy, with many different acts and omissions combining to bring about the Grenfell Tower fire. It also found that the PE ACM cladding panels were the ‘principal reason’ for the rapid fire spread.
