PUBLIC inquiry recommendations into disasters like Grenfell are “too often” ignored, peers have said as they called for a new parliamentary committee to monitor how they are implemented.

The cross-party Lords statutory inquiries committee found today that many recommendations were not followed up, risking the “recurrence of a disaster” — such as at Grenfell Tower.

Ministers establishing a public inquiry should consider including a deadline for it to conclude or demand a series of interim reports so recommendations can be implemented quickly, the committee report suggested.
