00:00Well, we've announced today that we'll be investigating those seven companies for professional
00:04misconduct under the new procurement act which came into force last week, so we'll be taking
00:09that forward. We've said that the way those companies reacted was absolutely disgraceful
00:15what they did and I outlined that in the chamber today. Reading the report from St Martin was
00:21absolutely devastating to see and the lack of remorse by some of these companies is disgraceful
00:26and I outlined that again today in my response to the report's findings. We're using every
00:33bit of legislation that we possibly can. The police have still got their investigation
00:38that's ongoing. I mentioned again today that the families are full of anguish and the community
00:43are because they still haven't seen that justice yet, so we've announced today the investigation
00:48into those seven companies under the new procurement act and we will take whatever means we have
00:54that's necessary to try and bring those to justice, those that have failed the Grenfell
00:59community so appallingly.
