Final day of inquiry sessions after four years of hearings
Many firms giving evidence at the Grenfell Inquiry have indulged in a “merry-go-round” of “buck-passing” to protect their own legal position, the counsel for the inquiry has said in his closing remarks.
Richard Millett, counsel for the inquiry, was the final speaker to give a statement to the inquiry yesterday after more than four years of hearings.
Millett said it was “regrettable” that many of those responsible for the building and the building environment being as it was on the night of the fire “sought to exculpate themselves and to pin the blame on others.”
