Opened the debate
The Grenfell Tower fire was a preventable tragedy that claimed 72 lives and exposed deep-rooted weaknesses in the systems designed to keep people safe. The government has accepted the Inquiry’s findings and is publishing the September 2026 Grenfell Tower Inquiry Government Progress Report, updating on work underway to implement the recommendations. Since May 2026, 9 more recommendations have been completed, bringing the total to 30 since February 2025, and the government remains on track to deliver all recommendations by the end of 2029. Alongside this, the Interim Chief Construction Adviser’s final report is also being published, demonstrating continued progress in implementing the Grenfell Tower Inquiry’s recommendations and reforming the wider building safety system.
The government recognises that lasting change requires sustained transparency and oversight. The new dashboards publicly track progress to deliver accepted recommendations across inquiries, alongside regular progress reports on Grenfell implementation. Parliament also has an important role to play in overseeing how government implements recommendations and the outcome of PACAC's work in early 2027 is awaited.
