The UK Prime Minister announced on 15 June 2017 a public Inquiry into the fire at Grenfell Tower on the night of 14 June 2017. The Grenfell Tower Inquiry examined the circumstances leading up to and surrounding the fire. The Inquiry investigated a List of Issues in two phases. Phase 1, published in 2018, focused on the factual narrative of the events on the night of 14 June 2017. Phase 2 of the Inquiry examines the causes of these events, including how Grenfell Tower came to be in a condition which allowed the fire to spread in the way identified by Phase 1. Volume 1 of the Phase 2 report is in two parts: Introduction and The Path to Disaster.
