Investigation into bans for Grenfell firms paused

The investigation into banning companies involved in the Grenfell Tower fire has been paused, according to reports. This move has prompted outrage from campaigners, who have described the delay as "incompetence or outright indifference." The Grenfell Tower fire, which occurred in 2017, resulted in the deaths of 72 people and highlighted significant issues with the construction and safety standards of the building. The investigation was aimed at determining whether companies responsible for the cladding and other aspects of the tower's design and construction should be banned from future projects. However, the pause in the investigation has been met with criticism from those affected by the tragedy, who feel that justice is being further delayed. Campaigners argue that the continued delays demonstrate a lack of urgency in addressing the systemic problems that contributed to the Grenfell disaster. The news has reignited calls for a thorough and transparent investigation, as well as for measures to ensure that the companies involved are held accountable for their actions.
