Hello and welcome to another episode of page 94.

My name is Andrew Hunter Murray and this week we will be talking firstly about the

Grenfell Tower Inquiry.

The inquiry into the tragedy at Grenfell Tower has been going on for some time

now and it is just entering its second phase. I'll be talking to Rachel Clay and Peter

Aps who've been writing for the magazine about the inquiry, finding out what's happened

so far and what is going to be happening over the coming weeks and months.

I'll also be talking to Francis Wien, privatized Baroness Scotland Correspondent, who has been covering the embattled

Secretary General of the Commonwealth as she starts her run up to her potential

re-election which itself is a very unusual thing to have to be facing. I'll be finding out more from him about that later on

West London. The block was called Grenfell Tower. The fire had started in a faulty

fridge in a fourth floor flat and it rapidly spread across the entire building, most particularly

on the exterior cladding panels that had been added to the building in a relatively

recent refurbishment.

The fire eventually killed 72 people.

It was one of Britain's worst ever peacetime tragedies, and it has revealed a huge web of failures which left the residents of Grimful Tower exposed to serious danger.

The following day, the then-Prince Minister Theresa May promised a full inquiry into the events of the 14th.

That inquiry was divided into two parts which Privateer has been covering.

The first part has been complete for some time.

It dealt with the events on the night of the 14th itself.
