Here is a summary of the prime minister's statement following a meeting with some victims of the Grenfell Tower fire earlier today:

• She has set a deadline of three weeks for everybody affected to be found a home nearby and has requested daily progress reports.
• She has ordered more staff to be deployed across the area, wearing high visibility clothing, so they can easily be found, dispense advice and ensure the right support is provided. Phone lines will have more staff.
• The costs for providing victims with legal representation for the Public Inquiry will be met by the government.
• The inquiry will report back to Theresa May personally.
• She has ordered councils to complete urgent safety checks on all high rise buildings. If any further action is required, it will be taken.
• NHS London will provide specialist long-term bereavement support for the families who have lost loved ones, and immediate psychological support is being provided by Cruise and Red Cross.

The prime minister has promised "immediate action across the board" for victims of the fire at Grenfell Tower, after saying the support on the ground has not been 'good enough'.

Following a meeting with some of the victims at Downing Street, Theresa May said in a statement: "The response of the emergency services, NHS and the community has been heroic.

"But, frankly, the support on the ground for families who needed help or basic information in the initial hours after this appalling disaster was not good enough.

"I have heard the concerns and I have ordered immediate action across the board to help victims' relatives and the survivors.

"People lost everything in the fire and were left in only the clothes they were wearing.

"I can confirm that a £5million emergency fund that I announced yesterday is now being distributed on the ground so people can buy clothes, food and other essentials. If more funding is required, it will be provided."

Prime Minister Theresa May has said the support for families "who needed help or basic information in the initial hours" after the fire at Grenfell Tower "was not good enough".

Main points made by the London mayor on his Facebook page, external following the taskforce meeting at Number 10:

• Need for clearer direction on the ground for those affected of how and where they can access help such as housing and financial support, including highly visible expert people in the community
• Speed up efforts to rehouse people locally
• Clarity sought from government on when and what advice can be given to others living in tower blocks throughout UK
• Public inquiry must be transparent, accessible and include consultation and input from the community. Interim response needed this summer
• London-wide local authority recovery operation launched yesterday, led by a number of borough chief executives

Residents discussed their demands with Theresa May after the PM chaired a taskforce on the disaster.

Victims of the Grenfell Tower fire told the prime minister their demands in that meeting, which lasted two and a half hours.

A man representing the group told reporters outside Number 10 that they would make a full statement later "in the community".

He said the group had spoken about their "demands and what we expect" adding, "you will hear from us in due course".

A group of people affected by the fire at Grenfell Tower have left Downing Street after a meeting with the Prime Minister.

The group of victims, residents and volunteers spent over two hours at Number 10.

A rally has been taking place in Buchanan Street in Glasgow in support of the people of Grenfell Tower.

Human rights lawyer Aamer Anwar told the crowds: "The bereaved families need truth, accountability and justice.

"I demand arrests, a criminal trial before a judge and jury... those responsible should be incarcerated for murder.

"It's not a tragedy, it's a crime. The people in Grenfell died because they were poor."

Cmdr Cundy added: “The intention of me releasing some images and video tomorrow, which I have seen - and I will be going into Grenfell Tower myself to see it with my own eyes – is to understand the time it will take to fully search.

"There is considerable damage within Grenfell Tower. It is important for families that we do absolutely everything in there to find their loved ones. But we have gone to the top of the tower.”

Police say at least 58 people are missing and presumed dead in the Grenfell Tower fire.

The BBC, using its reporters on the ground, contact from relatives of victims and other media sources, understands there could be around 70 people missing.

Speaking at the scene of the fire, Mr Cundy said the investigation would take weeks or even or longer - and he understood people's frustration - but it would be exhaustive. He also appealed for people to send photos or videos to police to aid their inquiry.

Khadija Khalloufi lived on the 17th floor with her husband Sabah Abdullah.

Mr Abdullah told the BBC on Friday that since the fire the council have moved him to an old people's home despite his objections.

More than 6,000 calls have been received by police to their casualty bureau from throughout the UK, Mr Cundy said.

The figure of 58 people missing and presumed to have died in the Grenfell Tower fire could change, says Metropolitan Police commander Stuart Cundy.

"I really hope it won’t, but it may increase. Our focus has been on those we know were in there, who we have been told were in Grenfell Tower.

“However, there may be other people who were in there on the night, who others were not aware were there. That is also an absolute priority for the investigation, to establish who they may be.

“If someone was in Grenfell Tower and they did escape and they haven’t made it known to the police or to their family I would urge them to contact the police casualty bureau.

“I don’t care the reason you haven’t told us so far. I want to know and we all want to know, you are safe and well.”

Mr Cundy, who described the fire as "truly horrific " and a "human tragedy", said police were back in the tower after safety concerns for his staff on Friday.

Metropolitan Police Commander Stuart Cundy clarifies that the number of people confirmed to have died in the fire is 30, but up to another 28 people are missing and presumed dead.

“We have worked tirelessly to establish how many people we believe were in Grenfell Tower on the night and at this point in time we are unable to say they are safe or well.

“Sadly at this time there are 58 people who we have been told were in Grenfell Tower on the night and are missing, and therefore sadly I have to assume they are dead.”

The first victim to be formally identified was Syrian refugee Mohammed Alhajali.

Commander Stuart Cundy from the Metropolitan Police says 16 bodies have been recovered to the mortuary.

At least 58 people are missing and assumed to have died in the Grenfell Tower fire, police have said.
