Grenfell Tower Inquiry final report delayed

The official findings about what caused the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017 have been delayed.

The Grenfell Tower Inquiry panel’s final report, which was initially hoped to be released this autumn, is now anticipated to be released in the middle of next year.

In its latest update, the inquiry team explained that the sheer amount of evidence collected makes the drafting of a report a very time-consuming task.

The report is likely to run to thousands of pages and the inquiry said the amount of oral and documentary evidence it has collected “makes the drafting of a report a very time-consuming task”.
