    Watch as Grenfell United deliver a statement after the final report into the deadly blaze was published on Wednesday 4 September.

    The devastating fire which killed 72 people was the result of “decades of failure” by government and the construction industry to act on the dangers of flammable materials on high-rise buildings, the long-awaited report has found.

    The west London tower block was covered in combustible products because of the “systematic dishonesty” of firms who made and sold the cladding and insulation, inquiry chairman Sir Martin Moore-Bick said.

    He called out “deliberate and sustained” manipulation of fire-safety testing, misrepresentation of test data and misleading of the market.
