The Grenfell Tower fire that killed 72 people in London, UK, in 2017 was the result of a chain of failures by governments, "dishonest" companies and a lack of strategy by the fire service, the final report of a six-year public inquiry has concluded.
The report sets out a "path to disaster" at Grenfell stretching back to the early 1990s over how fire safety in high rise buildings has been managed and regulated.
The coalition and Conservative governments “ignored, delayed or disregarded” concerns about the safety of industry practices, the inquiry added.
A manufacturer of cladding products “deliberately concealed” the fire risks they posed, the report said.
