The Liberal Party welcomes the publication of the final report into the Grenfell Tower fire which claimed 72 lives.
We welcome the apology by the Prime Minister for the systemic failures in national and local government all of which contributed to an entirely avoidable disaster in a tightknit community.
The completion of this report over 6 years is however only one further step of the process of healing and justice.
Over 4000 buildings in the UK still retain flammable cladding and urgent progress must be made to complete the removal of this from the exterior of buildings.
We note that the report also does not look to the future and does not deal with the issue of no more hight rise buildings, no more gas in flats and the wider issue of the use of cladding in the construction industry.
