London fire death toll at 17 as May orders full public inquiry

Theresa May has ordered a full public inquiry into the fire at Grenfell Tower in west London which is feared to have left scores of people dead.

“Right now people want answers and it’s absolutely right. And that’s why I am today ordering a full public inquiry into this disaster,” the prime minister said. “We need to have an explanation of this. We owe that to the families, to the people who have lost loved ones, friends and the homes in which they lived.”

The death toll has risen to 17, with police warning many more may have perished after flames ripped through the 24-storey apartment block in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
