The investigation of firms that banned firms criticized in the Grenfel Tower Inquiry have been stopped “to prevent any impact on criminal investigation”.
Granfel mourned and the remaining people have accused the government of “disability or lump sum indifference” after the news.
In February, the cabinet office confirmed that seven companies were facing possible sanctions.
These firms are clapping firms Archeonic, Insulation Firms Kingspain, former Cellotex owner St. Goban, Fire Inspector Exov, Design and Build Contractor Raden, Architect Studio E and Sub-Contractor Harley Fesids.
‘Disgusting to hear’
Granfel United said: “The government’s decision to stop the debact of seven companies responsible for Granfel is an insult and insult to the survivors and the survivors.
“As long as we will always keep a criminal investigation first, it is disgusting to hear – yet – that the government failed to work hard.
“Whether through disability or lump sum indifference, this latest U-turn is yet another great example of a government that leaves its duty and shamelessly cheats on those who vow to save it.”
June 2017 In the final report of the investigation of West London Tower Block Fire, seven firms faced criticism, claiming the lives of 72 people.
The investigation is believed to have been initiated in all of them in March, given whether the procurement act is engaged in professional misconduct for the purposes of the Act 2023, possibly leading them to debate with public contracts.
The Met Police said that the government had not associated with the police or Crown Prosecution Services (CPS) before the government.
The CPS and the police contacted the cabinet office shortly after the announcement in February and formally wrote to the government in May, “Until no criminal proceedings were over, they were invited to invite them to consider their debate investigation”.
The government on Thursday confirmed that it had stopped its investigation so that the criminal investigation would not be affected.
The government spokesperson said: “Metropolitan Police and CPS informed the cabinet office that continuing debrocity investigation could cause criminal investigation and future criminal proceedings inadvertently bias.
“To prioritize criminal investigation by the Metropolitan Police and any future action, the Cabinet Office has stopped the investigation of its separate, non-criminal debate at the request of CPS and Metropolitan Police. The decision has been taken to secure the integrity of criminal investigation by the metropolitan police.”
The CPS said that it had stopped the investigation keeping in mind the government’s decision.
Frank Ferguson, head of the CPS Special Crime and Counter Terrorism Division, said: “We are firm to ensure the integrity of any possible future prosecution and are closely related to the metropolitan police service as their investigation works towards a clear file for us.”
Met said it was made aware through media reports on 26 February that the government would “start debriving under the Procurement Act 2023, among seven companies associated with Grenfel Tower”.
Bal said: “The government had not attached to the decision to start an investigation into an involvement with the police or CPS.
“It is really important that there is nothing that can put police investigation or future criminal proceedings at risk from prejudice.”
Police and prosecutors have earlier stated that investigators would need to fulfill their investigation by the end of 2026 by the end of 2026, with final decisions to the end of 2025 to complete their investigation.
