The Government is carrying out investigations, including testing in relation to public and product safety. This work is being taken forward at pace. The Independent Inquiry into Grenfell, led by Sir Martin Moore-Bick, is examining the circumstances leading up to and surrounding the fire at Grenfell and a criminal investigation is being led by the Metropolitan Police into the fire at Grenfell Tower. Both these must be allowed to complete and establish the facts behind the fire.
