Two years after the disaster, an initial 2019 report found that the tower’s cladding failed to meet building regulations, leading to the “profoundly shocking” fire spread.
The Grenfell Tower, a high-rise social housing block in Kensington, caught fire on June 14, 2017.
While the fire continued to spread, residents were initially told to remain in their apartments and await rescue from the fire department.
Grenfell United, which represents some of the bereaved and survivors of fire, were told of the plans on Wednesday night by deputy prime minister Angela Rayner.
Around 15 minutes after the fire broke out, the flames reached the exterior cladding of the building and began rapidly ascending the block.
