The fallout from the Grenfell fire continues. It looks as if health and safety will in future take a more important role in social housing.
Let us hope also that the ongoing discussions and comment will result in a better social housing system generally with funding made available for more houses to be built by social housing landlords, to higher standards.
That would be the best monument to those who lost their lives.
