Grenfell Tower fire killed 72 people and left 800 others homeless in west London .
The fire started due to an electrical fault in a fridge on the fourth floor, and within minutes flames had swept up the building.
The inquiry finds that the government knew about the risks posed by flammable cladding in 1991 .
The report is scathing of the TMO ’s responsibility for this difficult and ultimately dangerous dynamic.
The natural conclusion is that blame for the use of known combustible cladding on Grenfell Tower must be apportioned somewhere.
But throughout the inquiry, none of those involved have been prepared to take responsibility.
