Grenfell Tower fire

[ch 3: page 59]

The Metropolitan Police is leading an ongoing criminal investigation into the Grenfell Tower fire which is considering health and safety, manslaughter and corporate manslaughter charges against individuals and organisations (see Chapter 9). The investigation must take into account any findings or reports produced by the public inquiry, including its final report. It is therefore unlikely to submit any file to the CPS before the latter part of 2021 — more than four years after the fire.
