assessment of that, they have said the officer leading the investigation has now informed the royal boroughf kensington and chelsea council and the tenant management organisation that run when full tower that they have reasonable grounds, they say, to suspect each organisation may have committed the offence of corporate manslaughter. they say chiefs from both organisations will in due course be formally identified, but we have heard from residents, —— be formally interviewed. we have heard from residents who believe that her manslaughter is not strong enough. they want something stronger. and they have also, there is also still they have also, there is also still the ongoing anger towards the tenant management organisation and the council. last night we had the leader of the council saying the reset button needs to be pushed on the tenant ‘s management organisation. it seems there is going to be a lot of change happening but this police investigation is still ongoing and it is important to note no one has been charged. it is just that the corporate manslaughter offence is 110w corporate man

it was right that the leader of the royal borough of kensington and chelsea took the decision to moven. i look forward to working with the new leader of the council, and i will look at every option to ensure that everyone affected by this tragedy has the long—term support they need. well we can now to speak to chris williamson, who's the shadow minster for fire services. he joins us live from our westminster studio. good evening. one assumes that you welcome as well the resignation of nicholas paget—brown?” welcome as well the resignation of nicholas paget-brown? i think you should have gone earlier to be honest with you. the response from the authority was wonderful. i don't think it is quite good enough simply to replace the leader with another local councillor. and sadiq khan has called for the government to take more firm action and put in place commissioners to actually get the proper organisation to provide a proper organisation to provide a proper recovery service and proper support for the people who have been affected by the support and tragedy. the government has made it cle

at the centre of the hapless response to the grenfell tower fire is a london borough, the royal borough universal acknowledgement, it failed to rise to the challenge. and as the owner of the building and inspector of building works, it's in line for other criticism, too. those who survived the fire are understandably angry at the council, and that erupted last night at a council meeting which confirmed in post a new council leader. shame on you! well, the communities secretary, sajid javid, updated the commons today on grenfell and made the point that the council won't be trusted to handle the recovery on its own. the initial response from the local authority was simply not good enough. there's not a lot of trust there, not a lot of confidence. and that's why, once kensington and chelsea council takes over the recovery operation, it will do so under the supervision of the independent grenfell recovery task force. it is there to provide advice and support and see to it that the council does the job that is required of it. the council has now at least appointed a deputy leader, who is to

fire have written to survivors, telling them that there are reasonable grounds to investigate the royal borough the borough tenant management 0rganisation for corporate manslaughter. our home affairs correspondent, tom symonds, is following developments and gave us this update a short time ago. police have quite unusually updated people affected by the fire, with their progress. what they are saying is that there are reasonable grounds to suspect that two organisations, the council and the tenant management 0rganisation which manage the grenfell tower, there are reasonable grounds to suspect each of the organisations may have committed the offence of corporate manslaughter, which is a slightly unusual potential charge, because a single person cannot be guilty of corporate manslaughter, it has to be a company. what they are saying is not that they have evidence the offence was committed or that the organisations will be prosecuted but they are saying they have enough to continue investigating. i think that's important to understand, it is the earliest stage, if you like. they say there is someth

they are saying is this, there are reasonable grounds to suspect that the two organisations, the royal boroughhelsea and the te na nt kensington and chelsea and the tenant management organisation that manage grenfell tower, reasonable grounds to suspect that each of those organisations may have committed the offence of corporate manslaughter which is a slightly unusual potential charge because a single person cannot be guilty of corporate manslaughter it has to be accompanied. what are they saying is that not they have evidence that the offence was committed or that the organisations will be prosecuted what they are saying is they have another to continue investigating. that is important to understand, the earliest age. they are saying there's something here than the lock—out. there's something here than the lock-out. if they are updating regularly that's why they are saying it now but what happens next? what it now but what happens next? what it does is allow the police to put the council and the tenant management organisation on notice that one of their senior officials, could you read this

it was right that the leader of the royal borough of kensington and chelsea took the decision to move minister promised that every family who lost their home because of the fire would be offered a good quality temporary home within three weeks, and the deadline is this wednesday. i have been monitoring the progress of free housing, and we will honour that commitment. every home offered will be appropriate and of good quality. what we will not do is compel anyone to a cce pt what we will not do is compel anyone to accept an offer of temporary accommodation that they do not want. some families have indicated that they wanted to remain as close as possible to theirformer they wanted to remain as close as possible to their former home, but when they received their offer, took a look at the property, they have decided it would be easier to deal with their breed and if they moved further away. some families have decided that for the same reasons they would prefer to remain in hotels for the time being. other households have indicated that they would prefer to wait until permanent accommodat

lady and gentleman here are saying and we are working as a team, across london, it's notjust the royal boroughtart, but progress is being made. let me bring in chris williamson. where are we five weeks on? what do you say? well, not for enough and what we are experiencing here is a legacy by goes back several decades of deregulation, privatisation and cuts. it can't be right that a combustible material was sanctioned to be put on a building, a tower block for insulation purposes and we need to get to the bottom of that. that's why we've called for a two—stage inquiry. we need to get to the bottom of how the fire started and why it spread so quickly? why weren't the residents concerns listened to? people were making the point that they were fearful, it has been well documented now about the building not being fit for purpose and not being safe and worries about fire, but we need to genuinely learn lessons, often after disaster, people talk about learning lessons, but we don't seem to learn those lessons and the lessons we need to learn is how was it possible that those sorts of political decisi
