Shadow Brexit secretary Keir Starmer has explained the importance of the public inquiry announced by the Government.

Normally an inquest can only take place at the end of a criminal investigation but a public inquiry "can happen much more quickly in some circumstances", he told the Andrew Marr Show.

The former Director of Public Prosecutions (2008-13) was asked if both Labour and Conservative governments bore some of the blame for not investigating fire concerns about cladding on high-rise buildings. The issue was raised in a House of Commons report in 2000.

"All parties need to ask serious questions why recommendations in the past have not been implemented," he replied.

Keir Starmer, the Shadow Secretary of State for Brexit, told The Andrew Marr Show there are "serious questions which require serious answers and accountability".

He said there questions need to be answered "about the cladding and costing".

"There is understandable anger and frustration, you've seen that from those living in the tower block, people living in other similar situations."

The Sunday papers are, unsurprisingly, dominated by the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy.

The Sunday Times reports that the British Red Cross has drafted in to help victims of the blaze while senior staff at Kensington and Chelsea Borough Council have been told to stay at home.

Following a meeting with surviving Grenfell Tower victims at Downing Street on Saturday, Theresa May declared that the initial response was "not good enough".

Labour MP Ian Austin told the paper: "Isn't it a good job that we've got charities and aid workers read to step in when one of Britain's richest councils can't sort out its own mess."

What motivated ordinary people to go to the scene of the fire, in their own words.

The Government has drafted in extra staff to manage the response to the Grenfell Tower fire after criticism of Kensington and Chelsea Borough Council.

As anger mounts over the Grenfell Tower fire, many relatives are finding it hard to get the information they are desperate for. Nusul Islam told the BBC of his frustration at the official response.

His uncle, aunt and three cousins were on the 17th floor when the tower block caught fire early on Wednesday morning.

He fears the worst.

On Thursday, Friday and again on Saturday, he drove to North Kensington from his home in Hertfordshire and joined the throngs of people walking the streets around Latimer Road.

But with no central place to go, and no-one obvious to ask, he has been left frustrated.

"There's no-one giving us information," he said. "There's no-one to talk to.

"It's just the charities. Where are the government officials, where are the council officials?"
