Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to set up a national oversight mechanism for the Grenfell Inquiry to monitor the implementation of recommendations from (1) inquests, and (2) inquiries.
The Government accepted, in principle, all of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry’s Phase 1 recommendations for central government. I chair the quarterly Grenfell Inquiry Recommendations Board to monitor progress against these recommendations and a tracker is published on gov.uk every 6 months.
The bereaved families and survivors of the Grenfell Tower tragedy deserve justice, not only through the Inquiry and police investigations, but also through Government creating a legacy of lasting change and reforms to building safety. Our Building Safety Bill will make that a reality.
