Our response to today's publication of the Grenfell Inquiry Phase 2 Report

Sections on govt reject the evidence of Lord Eric Pickles and severely criticise the "profound" failure to act after the Lakanal House coroner's inquest in 2013 - which it links directly to the deregulatory agenda of govt insidehousing.co.uk/news/complacen…
