The UK government has initiated investigations into seven companies involved in the Grenfell Tower refurbishment, following the tragic fire in 2017 that claimed 72 lives. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner announced potential punitive measures, including prison sentences and unlimited fines for safety violations by executives. The companies under scrutiny, including manufacturers like Arconic, Kingspan, and Celotex, may also face bans from public contracts under the Procurement Act 2023. Rayner emphasized the need to address the "persistent culture of impunity" within the construction industry, stating, "We are taking steps to ensure that such a tragedy never happens again."
