Back in Nov 2020, four employees of #Arconic, the company that made the cladding used at #Grenfell Tower, refused to give evidence to the public inquiry.

Three French and one German employee of Arconic say they might breach a law in France, which prevents evidence from being given to proceedings abroad.

The #GrenfellReport says a cladding product manufacturer #Arconic “deliberately concealed” fire risks, while coalition and Conservative governments “ignored, delayed or disregarded” concerns.

All deaths were avoidable.

The scope of the report does not include legal proceedings

#Arconic the company which made the cladding panels on the tower’s exterior, are found to have “deliberately concealed” the safety risk; two firms which produced insulation - #Celotex and #Kingspan - were found to have “misled”

"Incompetent” companies involved in the 2011 refurbishment of the tower – #StudioE and #HarleyFacades – are found to bear “significant” responsibility for the disaster, while project manager #Rydon ’s oversight of the work led to a culture of “buck-passing”
