Grenfell Tower continues to burn the day after the fire claimed the lives of 72 people on June 14, 2017
GRENFELL campaign groups and the Labour Party slammed the Tories today for voting against proposals to implement safety recommendations from the inquiry into the blaze.
On Monday night, 318 Tory MPs, including Felicity Buchan, MP for Kensington, where the tower’s remains stand, voted against acting on the recommendations proposed by Labour in an amendment to the Fire Safety Bill.
The amendment was tabled after it emerged that over 80 per cent of private-sector accommodation and nearly 50 per cent of social-sector buildings with Grenfell-style flammable cladding have not had the dangerous material removed.
