Sir Keir Starmer

Labour — Holborn and St Pancras

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 September 2024

Debate

Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 2 Report

Contribution

I thank my right hon. Friend for that question. She is absolutely right to focus on the community and the bereaved. Decisions on a memorial, whatever form it takes, must be taken in consultation with the community, and I give an absolute commitment that we will do that as well as providing the support that they need. During my visit, I had a sense—just a small sense—of just how painful this must have been and continues to be. We cannot allow another seven years to pass before we take the necessary action.
