The CPS will lead on the next steps and the government will continue to cooperate fully in the next stage of this process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Grenfell Tower Inquiry exposed profound failures in the building safety system. As Secretary of State, I recognise that confidence will only be rebuilt through sustained action and visible change. I will ensure that the lessons from the Inquiry drive real and lasting change in how government works and provides safe homes for people across the country to ensure a tragedy like Grenfell can never happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read Angela Rayner&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/statement-from-mhclg-secretary-of-state\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">full speech here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Government acting on Grenfell recommendations<\/h3>\n<p>Following the closure of the government\u2019s own inquiry, several recommendations were made to improve the UK\u2019s fire safety, particularly in tall buildings and those with unsafe cladding.<\/p>\n<p>In May, the government <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/uk-acts-on-grenfell-inquiry-recommendations-improve-building-safety\/162293\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">published guidance<\/a> to create a more accountable system for building safety based on these recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>This includes recommendations concerning a skilled construction workforce, a better-equipped fire service, and speeding up the removal of unsafe cladding.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, minister for building safety, fire and democracy, Samantha Dixon, stated: \u201cThe\u202fGrenfell\u202ftragedy\u202fshould never have happened,\u202fand we\u202fremain\u202fcommitted to\u202flearning and acting on\u202fits\u202ffailings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHigh standards,\u202fresponsibility\u202fand safety must\u202funderpin\u202fthe whole building process,\u202fupheld\u202fby everyone across the profession.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scotland Yard had also announced that there were 77 potential criminal charges related to Grenfell, 57 of which are individuals while 20 are companies.
