Do public inquiries work? What comes after Grenfell and other UK disasters

People involved in some of the UK's highest-profile recent inquiries discuss what they achieved and what was left undone

After the final report of the Grenfell fire inquiry was published, Hisam Choucair, who lost six family members in the blaze, said: We did not ask for this inquiry ... It's delayed the justice my family deserves."

Although he thanked the inquiry for its findings, Choucair was devastated that the police had put the criminal investigation on the back burner until it had concluded. A decision on prosecutions is now not expected to happen until the end of 2026 at the earliest.
