The London Fire Commissioner has been notified by the Metropolitan Police Service that, following its investigation into the events surrounding the Grenfell Tower fire, a file has been submitted to the CPS for its consideration in respect of London Fire Brigade. The CPS will independently review the evidence and make any prosecution decisions and, if so, for what offences.
The London Fire Commissioner welcomes the progress in the investigation process and reaffirms his commitment to providing the CPS with full cooperation, as LFB has sought to do throughout Operation Northleigh.
London Fire Commissioner, Jonathan Smith KFSM said: “We remember the 72 people who lost their lives, and our thoughts remain with the bereaved, survivors and everyone whose lives were changed forever by that night.
“LFB accepted the findings of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry and has now implemented all the recommendations from both phases.
“We continue working with our partners across government and the fire and rescue sector to ensure the lessons of the Grenfell tragedy are learnt, and this continues to shape everything we do.”
