Phase 1 Report
As of 20 November, the Phase 1 report had been accessed 31,781 times from the website and the executive summary 29,845 times.
The Inquiry has published its financial report setting out the expenditure for the Grenfell Tower Inquiry for the period 01 August 2017 to 31 March 2019. You can read the report here.
The Chairman regrets that members of the media have obtained the content of the Phase 1 report, or parts of it. The Chairman and the whole Inquiry team are very disappointed that someone has seen fit to disregard the confidential nature of the report during the embargo period. It is equally disappointing that media elected to publish what they would have been aware was subject to strict obligations of confidence.
