There has been a “merry-go-round of buck passing” by firms trying to avoid accountability for the Grenfell Tower fire, a public inquiry into the deadly blaze has been told.
The fire at the residential tower block in North Kensington, west London, in June 2017 killed 72 people and triggered a public inquiry, chaired by Sir Martin Moore-Bick.
A lack of accountability, deregulation, austerity and cuts along with organisations which put profits before safety were named by Anne Studd KC, representing London mayor Sadiq Khan, as possible factors that existed before the devastating fire.
