Mayor of London statement on Grenfell Inquiry Phase 2 Report

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: "For more than seven long years, the bereaved, survivors, residents and local Grenfell community have shown unrelenting strength, dignity and courage in the fight for justice. We all owe them a debt of gratitude. Whilst the publication of the second phase of the Inquiry is an important step on this journey, it is not the end. Those responsible must now be immediately held to account for their systematic dishonesty, corporate greed, institutional indifference and neglect. Companies found to have been to blame by the Inquiry must no longer receive any public contracts, as the police and CPS look into the bringing of criminal charges.

"Everyone deserves the right to live in a safe home - a right denied to the residents of Grenfell Tower. Until we can say with confidence that the failings that led to this disaster can never be repeated, many of the bereaved, survivors and residents will never feel that that they can truly rest. They are not alone. The road to justice is still too long, and change must be delivered without any further delay."
