IndiaTimes Wednesday, 4 September 2024 ()
UK PM Keir Starmer issued an apology to Grenfell Tower fire victims following a report attributing the tragedy to government and industry failings.

In its final 1,700-page report, the inquiry laid most of the responsibility on the companies involved in the building's maintenance and refurbishment.
