Ten Grenfell households still without permanent accommodation

Ten Grenfell households still without permanent accommodation

It's been two and a half years since the residential block went up in flames.

There are now 10 households who were within Grenfell Tower that have yet to move into permanent accommodation, housing Secretary Robert Jenrick has said.

Speaking at the start of a general debate in the Commons on the Grenfell Tower Inquiry's Phase 1 Report, he said: "Of those households that were within Grenfell Tower, there are now 10 households that have yet to move into permanent accommodation.

"Of those 10, one household is within hotel accommodation, the others are within high-quality temporary accommodation."

He added: "They are complex cases and there's a range of individual circumstances behind them, but we're hopeful that many of those will move into accommodation which they feel comfortable in as soon as possible."

Grenfell Tower, in west London, went up in flames on June 14 2017 and claimed 72 lives.
