Grenfell Next of Kin, a group representing some of the bereaved, said it will be "paying close attention to these words and intentions" from Government, as it repeated criticism of the "grave mistakes, failures, corruption" it said had led to the deaths.

Ms Rayner added: "We are acting on all of the inquiry's findings, and today set out our full response, detailing the tough action we are taking to drive change and reform the system to ensure no community will ever have to face a tragedy like Grenfell ever again.

Companies whose products were used in Grenfell Tower will investigated over their “disgraceful mercenary behaviour”, the Deputy Prime Minister has vowed as she announced “tough” new action to be taken on the construction industry.

Arguing this would "create a new conflict of interest within the regulator", the Government said it will instead work to strengthen oversight of existing bodies through reforms to the construction products regime.

In a lengthy document detailing its wider response, the Government also said it is "committed to exploring further reforms to deliver systemic change to how residents' voices are heard and reliably acted upon".
