"Incompetence and poor practices in the construction industry" and among others led to theJune 2017 fire据11月10日结束的公众询问的首席顾问称，在伦敦的格伦费尔住宅高层建筑中，造成72人死亡。

"Each and every one of the risks which eventuated at Grenfell Tower on that night were well known by many and ought to have been known by all who had any part to play," asserted Richard Millett. "Each and every one of the deaths...was avoidable."

Completed in 1974, the 23-floor concrete framed building was owned by Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) and managed by an external tenant management organization. In June 2014, the TMO awarded contracts starting the tower's ill-fated refurbishment, including new facades.

Three years later, a faulty refrigerator in a fourth floor kitchen sparked the early morning fire, which escaped through a substandard window and engulfed the building in a few hours.

新安装的铝制复合雨屏面板在外面的外脸上被确定为三年前询问的第一阶段中快速射击的向量。位于宾夕法尼亚州的Arconic Inc.的法国子公司Arconic Architectural Products SAS提供了“ Reynobond PE”雨屏面板，其中包含薄的聚乙烯核心。

但是，“翻新的设计，材料的选择和建设方式”也贡献了这场灾难，当时询问主席马丁·摩尔·比克（Martin Moore-Bick）指出。

而查询的第一阶段涵盖了火灾周围的一系列事件，第二阶段刚刚结束，检查了其原因。该证据在总结中声称，这表明消防工程，建筑和建筑控制的失败，以及“覆层和绝缘材料制造部门的愤世嫉俗，甚至可能是不诚实的做法”。

在调查的第二阶段的312天中，有关当事各方沉迷于“雄鹿的旋转速度传球”。他说：“许多……核心参与者似乎只是利用调查作为机会……最大程度地减少自己承担法律责任的机会。”

斯蒂芬·霍克曼（Stephen Hockman）概括了奥尔科尼克（Arconic），他认为“整个议程（arconic）甚至在完全审理了案件之前就被谴责。”他断言，当时声称覆层产品“完全合法”，这取决于其他人的适用性。

Costing an estimated $170 million, the whole inquiry drew evidence from around 1,500 witnesses and around 300,000 documents. Its final report is due in the second half of next year.
