Call for new enforcement body for public inquiry and inquest recommendations
The final report published by the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, photographed outside Dorland House in London, it has presented findings on how the west London tower block came to be in a condition which allowed the flames to spread so quickly, claiming the lives of 72 people, September 4, 2024

BEREAVED families, lawyers and politicians called for the creation of a new body today to ensure state bodies and corporations cannot ignore life-saving coroner and public inquiry recommendations.

Deborah Coles, chief executive of the Inquest charity, called on the government to set up a “national oversight mechanism” at a Labour Conference fringe event jointly hosted by legal firm Leigh Day.

The mechanism would be an independent public body responsible for collating, analysing and following up on recommendations arising from investigations into state-related deaths.
